polyp gallbladder

[ML25CA]

Hi
I had an ultra-sound of my stomach and surrounding area. They found a polyp in my gallbladder. The person that did the test as well as my doctor told me not to be concerned. Of course I am concerned. I have done a lot of reading and the word Cancer always makes it way into the topic. I am taking that since they told me not to be concerned that the actual polyp is small in size? I am going to see my doctor in a month or so. What should I ask him? Should I ask for periodic ultra-sounds or have the polyp removed? Any information would be very much appreciated. thanks in advance.

For gallbladder polyps greater than 1 cm, cholecystectomy is generally recommended. For gallbladder polyps less than 1 cm, follow-up and management have been conflicting but recently attempts have been made to reach consensus/joint guidelines. Here is a sample algorithm published in 2017: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5544788/figure/Fig1/

Hi,

I think you need to consult doctor properly for this as, this should not become a big and serious issue for you so, you just need to be more focus on proper diagnosis.

Thanks!!
