Hello

Cholecystitis (ko-luh-sis-TIE-tis) is inflammation of the gallbladder. Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, beneath your liver. The gallbladder holds a digestive fluid that's released into your small intestine (bile).

In most cases, gallstones blocking the tube leading out of your gallbladder cause cholecystitis. This results in a bile buildup that can cause inflammation. Other causes of cholecystitis include bile duct problems, tumors, serious illness and certain infections.

Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of cholecystitis may include:

  • Severe pain in your upper right or center abdomen
  • Pain that spreads to your right shoulder or back
  • Tenderness over your abdomen when it's touched
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Fever

Hope this Helps

Thank you

Hello Aspirant

The gallbladder is a pear-shaped digestive organ located on the right side of the abdomen. Its role is to store and release bile for fat digestion.
When inflamed, it can cause abdominal pain, vomiting, and fever.
It connects to the liver by a duct. If a stone blocks this duct, bile backs up, causing the gallbladder to become inflamed. This is known as acute cholecystitis.
The gallbladder swells and becomes red during a bout of inflammation, and the buildup of fluid in the organ can develop a secondary infection.

Hope this information would be helpful.
All the best.
