What Causes Smaller Than Normal Gall Bladder?

I was also told that I have a smaller-than-normal gal bladder for my age, weight and height, after I had fasted and had an abdominal sonogram. The reason for getting it was due to severe pain in my abdomin, and various other issues. Do you know what caused this smaller-than-normal gal bladder?

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Small gall bladder can be from fibrosis secondary to chronic inflammation of gall bladder...

Gall stone also can lead chronic inflammation and so small gall bladder

Investigate with USG scan and let me know you your USG report for giving more comment

If needed HIDA scan can be done for that

Take care

Hope your concern solved
