14 Signs Of A Gallbladder Attack

5. Abdominal Tenderness

Healthline

Tenderness in the abdomen is usually caused by inflammation or other acute processes in one or more organs. The delicate region is surrounded by organs. Acute processes refer to pressure that is applied suddenly. Point soreness can be caused by twisted or occluded organs, for example.

If your gallbladder is inflamed, you may have discomfort and tenderness in the upper right or mid-section of your abdomen. The liver produces bile. Bile is stored in the gallbladder and sent into the small intestine, where it aids digestion.
