Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Gallbladder cysts usually refer to a benign condition caused by the presence of cysts in the gallbladder. These cysts may result from gallstones or chronic cholecystitis, which cause severe and repeated irritation to the gallbladder. They may also be associated with cholelithiasis or gallbladder cancer. Moreover, the potential danger of a gallbladder cyst depends on its underlying cause. It is recommended to promptly visit a reputable local hospital for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment once symptoms appear.
