Is it a problem that the baby's gallbladder volume is slightly larger?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the longitudinal diameter of a normal gallbladder is approximately 7~8 cm, and the transverse diameter is approximately 3~4 cm. The size of the gallbladder not only varies among individuals but is also influenced by its motility and tension. Therefore, the aforementioned values regarding gallbladder size are not absolute. If a gallbladder enlargement is detected, it is important to identify the cause of the enlargement, as this is significant for treatment.
