It’s ironic how the appendix and gallbladder are usually the first thing people think about when they talk about colon cancer. Both organs are involved in the digestive process that ultimately leads to a life-threatening disease. But when these organs aren’t functioning properly, the result can be a severe case of indigestion.
And to think when we think about colon cancer, we tend to think “Well, I don’t have appendix and gallbladder, so I don’t have colon cancer, right?” But that’s not true. A person with colon cancer has a lump, or a mass, that is usually found in the appendix. The appendix, like the gallbladder, is an organ that is involved in the digestive process that leads to a life-threatening disease.
An appendicitis is a condition where the appendix gets inflamed (in other words, it is infected). There are several causes. One of them is a food-borne bacteria called Escherichia coli, which can become lodged inside the appendix itself. That’s why there is such a high rate of colon cancer. For a very small risk, you can get an appendectomy, in which the appendix is surgically removed.
Most people who have an appendicitis don’t even need surgery. In fact, the surgery can be avoided entirely. Appendicitis is a relatively rare condition, and the average person does not even know they have it. But if you have one, you can avoid the need for an appendectomy by getting a gallbladder transplant. If you haven’t had the surgery, then you can get a gallbladder transplant at the Mayo Clinic.
Although most people who have one of these conditions do not have an appendicitis, you still may need an appendectomy. This is because the appendix can become inflamed, and it is the inflamed appendix that can cause an abscess to form, which can then cause the problem. Also, if you have an abscess, you can develop a fistula, which is a hole in your gastrointestinal tract that connects two organs. A fistula is an abscess that connects two organs.
The Mayo Clinic reports that one in five people who have an appendicitis require surgery, but those with a gallbladder are not as likely to require surgery, and the fact that those with gallbladders don’t tend to have an abscess is very helpful.
Gallbladder disease is not a death sentence, but it is a serious one. The Mayo Clinic reports that there are two ways to treat a gallbladder: surgery or antibiotics for it to be properly removed. A surgery will allow you to remove the gallbladder, but it will also cause the liver, spleen, and other organs to be drained. This is not good.
Gallbladder disease can be treated pretty well with antibiotics. However, it can also be quite dangerous. There is a high risk of complications if the surgery is not done in a timely manner. To prevent this, if your doctor has determined that the surgery is not necessary, a doctor can suggest you have the gallbladder removed.
There are different types of gallbladder disease that affect different organs. So the best you can do is to avoid having it surgically removed. The more surgery you end up having, the more likely it is that you have a gallbladder issue. And when the gallbladder has to be removed it will be out of the question to try to put it back into your body.
If you have gallstones, this is when you can actually have a gallbladder removed without having the gallbladder surgically removed. In most cases, it’s a pretty simple surgery. The doctor just makes a small incision on your abdomen. Then he or she takes out the gallbladder and you swallow a pill. You have to be careful of the pills because, if you take any pills that contain alcohol you will be out of luck.
