The person suffering from biliary colic complains of an ache or pain in the upper-right part of the abdomen. In some cases, this pressure can spread towards the back of the right shoulder. Other symptoms include:
- Nausea.
- Vomiting.
Biliary colic, also known as gallbladder attack, is a steady or intermittent pain in the upper abdomen, usually under the right side of the rib cage. It mainly occurs when gallstones temporarily block the bile duct during the contraction of the gallbladder. It increases the gallbladder wall tension. In many cases, the pain of this biliary colic resolves over 30 - 90 minutes, as the gallbladder relaxes and the obstruction is relieved.
Gallstones are a general case for a common man, because they rarely cause any symptoms and many people are unaware of their presence. Approximately one-third of the population which is affected by gallstones, will develop the painful symptoms of biliary colic.
