There are several causes of gallbladder enlargement, including cholecystitis, gallstones, and obstruction at the lower end of the bile duct. Patients with gallbladder enlargement should seek immediate medical attention. Abdominal CT scans, abdominal ultrasound, and other related examinations are recommended to determine the specific cause, followed by targeted treatment. Surgery is usually required for the treatment of gallbladder enlargement.
