Problems Related to Gallbladder

Two years ago, I experienced a gall bladder symptoms episode in response to multiple family illnesses only to look back over the previous year to remember that I had had the first hemorrhoid in my life six months prior to this episode coupled with occasional bouts with left hip problems and minimal edema in my left calf over many years. My more acute episode reflected Dr. Barral's additional clinical postulation that the gallbladder is the most reactive organ to emotionally charged events outside of the brain and spinal cord.⁷

In researching anatomy books to explore the venous drainage of the pelvic floor, there is common agreement that "any obstruction in the return flow toward the portal system within the liver causes veins to become varicose," contributing to the development of internal and external hemorrhoids. Another anatomical fact is that many of the rectal veins do not possess the valves that most other veins do, thus they are more susceptible to the effects of muscular straining during defecation.
