Here is a quick biology class for you. Let’s understand the importance of a gallbladder in a human body. Despite being a tiny organ, gallbladder is responsible for the proper functioning of the entire body directly and indirectly. It looks like a pear and has three segments to it, the fundus, the body, and the neck. The main function of the gallbladder is to store bile when it is not being used for digestion. Bile, also known as gall, is a dark green yellowish fluid that the liver produces and is stored in the gallbladder and after eating goes into the small intestine for digestion. To understand the importance of gallbladder, we must understand the importance of proper digestion. Indigestion causes many health problems in a human body. And gallbladder helps with proper digestion along with other organs and their functions. Though it is widely understood that the functionality and importance of gallbladder is relatively not as important as other organs, missing of gallbladder causes many digestion related problems. As soon as the small intestine is filled with food, the gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine to help digest the food. However, when gallbladder is removed, the liver will start depositing the bile juice directly into the small intestine continuously whether it is required or not.

An overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition where one finds it extremely difficult to hold the urine on a regular basis, which results to multiple trips to the bathroom. OAB is currently one of the most common health problems. It affects over 33 million Americans. Having an OAB can significantly alter one’s lifestyle as it negatively influences their thought process. People with OAB can often develop behavioral problems like anxiety, depression, and extreme mood swings which lead can even lead to insomnia or increased susceptibility to other physical complications. The following are the most common symptoms observed in an individual if they are suffering from OAB. An uncontrollable urge to pass urine which is usually sudden and can happen at any time of the day. This can even happen when one has consumed no fluids. An abnormal (increased) frequency of urination, i.e., an urge to urinate more than eight times a day. In such cases, a person has to make several trips to the bathroom even when they don’t have a full bladder. Experiencing minor urinary leakage or completely losing control of the bladder is an obvious sign of something going wrong. Urine leakage while indulging in a physical activity like running or cycling.

The bladder is encompassed by the pelvis and carries out the function of storing urine in the body. When an individual feels the urge to urinate, it is the bladder that is pressurized by the filling of urine. While urinating, the fluid passes through the bladder before getting flushed out of the body. In case of a fallen bladder, the pressure exerted on the body leads to the body slipping down below. This condition is suffered by women when the front wall of the vagina becomes weak due to several stressful excursions on the body. Fallen bladder or prolapsed bladder brings with it several complications that lead to discomfort and stress. Urine leakages are one of the biggest problems that are triggered by a fallen bladder. Fallen bladder symptoms Several signs indicate fallen bladder. However, in case the condition hasn’t entirely developed or is in the initial stage, a woman may not see symptoms at all. A woman who suffers from this condition will immediately feel a sense of pain in the lower back. This pain becomes excruciating over a period. One may also feel a lump in the vagina. This is a fallen bladder symptom that leads many women to realize about the condition immediately.
