Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Gallbladder swelling may be caused by gallstones or chronic cholecystitis. Generally, gallbladder swelling is not serious, as it is a benign condition. After diagnosis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and work with a qualified physician to surgically remove the cystic tissue within the gallbladder, thereby achieving a complete cure.
