What Causes Bruise On Lower Abdomen Post Gallbladder Removal Surgery?

I ve recently noticed a bruise form over my lower midde right stomach, roughly 2 inches right of my belly button. I recently had my gallbladder removed 16 days prior to this post. I do not recall causing any trauma to my abdomen at any time. It is only slightly firm to the touch, not sensitive to pressure, and has appeared to worsen in color and size since I first noticed it 2 days ago. I have also recently begun experiencing upper bladder pain, but am unsure if it has any connection to the bruise. Is this an emergency, or something I should keep an eye on for a few more days?
