"Gallbladder disease" refers to any health problem or condition that affects the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ located in the abdomen (belly), close to the liver. It stores a substance called bile, which helps in digesting fats. When someone has
gallbladder disease, it means that there is something wrong with the gallbladder, such as inflammation, gallstones, or an infection. These conditions can cause pain, digestive problems, and other symptoms. Treatment may involve medication, changes in diet, or in some cases, surgery to remove the gallbladder.
