Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Gallbladder swelling usually refers to gallbladder enlargement. It may occur when a patient develops acute cholecystitis and does not receive timely treatment, leading to inflammatory stimulation of the gallbladder or progression to chronic cholecystitis. Additionally, if a patient develops cholelithiasis or gallbladder cancer due to dietary factors, medications, or other causes, it may also result in abnormal enlargement of the gallbladder, manifesting as gallbladder distension.
