What Is A Distended Gall Bladder And How Is It Fixed?

I was taken to the ER with pain on my right side and going into the back. The doctor did a cat scan and an ultra sound, also a HIDA scan. The ultra sound showed a distended gall bladder, but no stones. My white count was elevated and I am still in a lot of pain. The pain medicine is not helping a whole lot. The HIDA scan was normal, even though I had taken medicine that could have some effect on the test. What is a distended gall bladder and how is it corrected.

    Distended gallbladder refers to the abnormal growth in the size of the gallbladder. This condition is usually due to the malfunctioning of the organ, and its swelling due to internal pressure. Distended gallbladder is prone to other problems, like inflammation and gallbladder stones. There are medications for this problems, but sometimes surgery is the ultimate solution.

    Eating a lot of rich foods can aggravate the gall bladder also.
