GALLBLADDER: A contracted gallbladder" can refer to two different situations. The first occurs following a meal or ingestion of fat . In either case, the gallbladder empties, becomes smaller, and is said to be contracted.This is the normal situation. The second situation is when the gallbladder is diseased, specifically when there has been inflammation, for example, due to gallstones.
