Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Gallbladder enlargement may be caused by cholecystitis or gallstones. Patients should go to the hospital for a proper examination. If it is due to cholecystitis, symptoms such as abdominal bloating and decreased immune resistance may occur. If it is caused by gallstones, it may lead to gallbladder polyps or malignant gallbladder tumors.
