Often, with diseases of the gallbladder, a person’s character deteriorates. He becomes irritable and restless. And it’s all about this small organ, which sometimes gives us so much trouble!
The gallbladder is an organ located on the right side of the human body, right below the liver. This is a “depot” of bile, which, during the next meal, is thrown into the intestines to speed up digestion. The size of the gallbladder is small, about the size of an average chicken egg. Inside, it is filled with a viscous, greenish bile. How to keep this organ healthy for many years will be discussed in our article.
