What are the symptoms of gallbladder problems in women?

The gallbladder is a critical part of the human body. Gallbladder disease will easily affect the gastrointestinal digestive function and normal diet. The main symptoms of gallbladder problems in women are indigestion, loss of appetite, anemia or long-term constipation, which have a great impact on the health of women.

Symptoms of poor gallbladder in women

1. Symptoms of poor gallbladder in women

Insufficient gallbladder function will affect bile secretion, leading to reduced digestive function and affecting diet. In particular, meat products will be more difficult to digest. Seeing greasy food will cause nausea and loss of appetite, and the smell of oily smoke will not be tolerated. When bile secretion is insufficient, symptoms such as abdominal bloating, constipation, anemia, osteoporosis and a significant reduction in the body's antioxidant capacity may also occur.

People with poor gallbladder function will experience symptoms such as low-grade fever, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, aversion to greasy food, abnormal stools, abdominal discomfort, yellow skin, easy bleeding, and bleeding gums. At the same time, their immunity is reduced, and their skin has blackheads and acne, and some are accompanied by edema.

2. Introduction to Gallbladder

The biliary system consists of two parts: the intrahepatic bile duct and the extrahepatic bile duct. It originates from the capillary bile duct in the liver, and its terminal end merges with the pancreatic duct and opens into the duodenal papilla. The intrahepatic bile duct includes the segmental bile duct, lobar bile duct and the left and right intrahepatic hepatic ducts; the extrahepatic bile duct includes the left and right extrahepatic hepatic duct, the common hepatic duct, the gallbladder, the cystic duct and the common bile duct.

3. Composition of bile duct

The intrahepatic bile ducts originate from the capillaries in the liver, and then converge into interlobular bile ducts, segmental bile ducts, lobar bile ducts and left and right hepatic ducts. The course of the intrahepatic bile duct is roughly consistent with that of the intrahepatic portal vein, hepatic artery and their branches at all levels, and all three are surrounded by a connective tissue sheath.

The intrahepatic bile duct can be named according to the lobes and segments of the liver. The left and right hepatic ducts are first-level branches, the left internal lobe, left external lobe, right anterior lobe, and right posterior lobe bile ducts are second-level branches, and the bile ducts of each liver segment are tertiary branches. The extrahepatic biliary system includes the left hepatic duct, right hepatic duct, common hepatic duct, gallbladder, cystic duct and common bile duct. The left and right hepatic ducts and the common hepatic duct are formed by the confluence of the left and right hepatic bile ducts deep in the transverse groove of the liver portal.

What are the causes of gallbladder problems?

1. The incidence of gallstones is related to factors such as age, gender, obesity, fertility, race and diet, and is also affected by medication history, surgical history and other diseases. Age of onset Most epidemiological studies have shown that the incidence of gallstones increases with age. This disease is rare in childhood and may be related to hemolysis or congenital biliary disease. A survey shows that the 5-year incidence rate for people aged 40 to 69 is four times that of the lower age group, and the dividing line between high and low incidence is 40 years old. Although there are certain differences in reports from different countries, the peak age of onset is in the age group of 40 to 50 years old.

2. The relationship between the disease and obesity. Clinical epidemiological studies have shown that obesity is an important risk factor for the development of gallbladder cholesterol stones, and the incidence rate in obese people is three times that of people with normal weight. The reason why obese people are more susceptible to gallstones is that the absolute amount of cholesterol synthesis in their bodies increases, or the bile acid and phospholipids increase relatively, making cholesterol oversaturated.
