Hello,
With the question “Ultrasound can't find gallbladder, what's wrong? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Abdominal ultrasound does not find the gallbladder, which usually occurs in 2 cases, either you have had a cholecystectomy, or you have an abdominal ultrasound after eating, the gallbladder is difficult to collapse. survey. Therefore, if you have not had your gallbladder removed, you should fast before the ultrasound. At this time, the gallbladder will be enlarged and easier to see. Ideally, you should visit your doctor again for specific advice.
If you still have questions about ultrasound, you can't find your gallbladder, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
