What is the normal gallbladder wall thickness

The thickness of the gallbladder wall is closely related to cholesterol. High cholesterol in the body can easily cause thick gallbladder wall. The normal thickness of the gallbladder wall is four to five millimeters. If it exceeds this range, it is abnormal. You can control it through diet, eat less foods with high cholesterol content, such as animal liver, greasy and fried foods, and eat more fish, fresh fruits and vegetables.

The gallbladder is a pear-shaped hollow organ in our body. It is composed of three parts: the gallbladder fossa in our liver, the base, and the neck. The gallbladder wall in our body is relatively thin and very smooth, and its normal wall thickness is in the range of 1-2mm. If we examine our gallbladder through ultrasound, there will be no echo inside the gallbladder cavity, but the echo of the posterior wall will be enhanced. When normal people have a full meal, the gallbladder wall will thicken to a range of 4.0mm to 5.0mm.

If under normal circumstances, the thickness of the gallbladder wall exceeds 3.0mm, it means that the gallbladder wall has thickened. Thickening of the gallbladder wall is usually caused by diseases such as cholecystitis or hepatitis. So how should we regulate our body at this time? We must control our diet at ordinary times, eat less foods with high cholesterol content, and eat more fish, fresh fruits and vegetables. You can eat a relatively small amount of fat food appropriately, such as fatty meat, eggs, etc., which can effectively stimulate our gallbladder, allowing the bile to be discharged cleanly, and to a certain extent can solve the problem of thickening of the gallbladder wall.

In addition, if the thickness of our gallbladder wall exceeds the normal range, high-cholesterol foods cannot be eaten. You should also pay attention to food hygiene and avoid eating food from fast food restaurants or food stalls. These foods are unhygienic and eating too much can easily lead to thickening and deterioration of the gallbladder wall. Therefore, it is better to cook the food we eat by ourselves, which is more hygienic. In daily life, you should pay more attention to rest to avoid feeling tired. If you need to work, you must pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Eat more vegetables and fruits and drink plenty of water every day to keep your bowel movements smooth.

If the gallbladder wall thickness is not within the normal range of 1-2mm without eating, and the gallbladder wall thickness exceeds 3mm. At this time, we need to make adjustments to avoid cholecystitis or other diseases. At this time, patients must learn to control their emotions, avoid mental tension, emotional excitement, etc. If they encounter unhappy or stressful things, they can vent through exercise. As long as you do these, the thickening of the gallbladder wall can heal itself.

From the above content, we can clearly know that the normal thickness of the gallbladder wall is 1-2mm when not eating, and its thickness ranges from 4-5mm after eating. Therefore, if we find that the blood pressure exceeds these two ranges, it means that there is a problem with our gallbladder, which may be cholecystitis or hepatitis. We should go to the hospital for a detailed examination in time for symptomatic treatment.
