Gallbladder Problems: What’s Normal, What’s Not, and When to Get Help
Gallbladder pain isn’t always obvious — and it’s not always something you can wait out. In this episode, Dr. Peter Lalor talks through what the gallbladder actually does, why gallstones form and how symptoms can show up differently from person to person. He also explains when it’s time to call a doctor, what can happen if issues are ignored and how to tell when gallbladder pain becomes an emergency.
