The gall bladder is a small, pouch-like organ located under the liver. Its main function is to store bile, a fluid produced by the liver that helps digest fats. Although the gall bladder plays a role in digestion, it is not essential for healthy living, and many people live normally without it after surgery.
Gall bladder problems most commonly occur when gallstones form. These are solid deposits that can block the flow of bile, leading to symptoms such as:
