5. Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is when the pancreas becomes inflamed. If you have developed pancreatitis, it is a good idea to be checked for gallstones as well. The pancreas is located near the liver and works by discharging digestive enzymes into the digestive system, using the same track as what is used for bile.
Since the two ducts meet near the intestine, a gallstone may affect the function of either of these ducts. If a gallstone leaves the gallbladder and becomes stuck in the duct of the pancreas, it may cause abdominal pain and inflammation.
If this happens, it is likely that the gallbladder will need to be removed. Some of the symptoms of pancreatitis may include nausea and vomiting, a rapid pulse, abdominal pain, and possibly a fever. If you are suffering from pancreatitis, make sure that your doctor checks you for gallstones as well to make sure that is not the cause of the inflammation.
