Gallbladder polyps can cause stomach distension

Gallbladder polyps may cause stomach distension in some cases, but specific analysis is needed.

Gallbladder polyps usually refer to benign masses formed by protrusion on the inner surface of the gallbladder. Some gallbladder polyps are asymptomatic and are often discovered accidentally. However, when gallbladder polyps are large or in special positions, they may compress the gastrointestinal tract, affecting the motility and emptying of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in stomach distension. In addition, gallbladder polyps may also cause cholecystitis, cholangitis and other complications. These complications may also lead to stomach distension and other symptoms.
