Question 8

what is the cause of a distended gall bladder?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Your gallbladder will be distended when you are not eating.  It fills with bile and then, when you eat, it empties.  This is not a problem.  It is normal physiology.  The problem happens when your gb is obstructed by a stone or inflammation and cannot empty.  This can lead to infection and severe pain, fevers, etc.  If you have no stones on ultrasound you may need a hida to see how ur gb empties.

Question 9

help please! could distended gall bladder be cured?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is nothing to worry about.  Usually in a fasting state the gallbladder gets distended.  When you eat the gallbladder is stimulated and contracts and is no longer distended.  If there is a stone blocking the emptying of the gallbladder than you need to surgically remove it.

Question 10

gall bladder is partially collapsed in which conditions?

Accepted Answer

Can be normal: A collapsed or partially empty gallbladder can be normal and seen if a person ate too soon before the ultrasound. If there are gallstones however, it could then indicate a thickened & contracted gallbladder due to chronic inflammation of the gallbladder.
