Functional Gallbladder and Sphincter of Oddi Disorders

Functional Gallbladder and Sphincter of Oddi Disorders are conditions that affect the gallbladder and the muscle controlling the flow of bile into the intestine. People with these disorders may experience pain, bloating, and digestive issues without any physical blockage or disease present. This dysfunction can disrupt normal digestive processes, leading to discomfort. The exact cause is often unclear, but it is considered related to how the gallbladder and sphincter function rather than structural problems. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life through dietary changes and medications.
