Hello
Thanks for writing to us

According to reports you have multiple calculi in gall bladder.Its only treatment is cholecystectomy(removal of gall bladder).
You should remove it earliest because it is prone to infections.I may also cause cancer in long term.
Partially contracted gall bladder may be due to many reasons.It is not a matter of concern.
You should consult surgeon.
Hope i have answered your query.

Take Care
