Gallbladder polyp: symptoms, cause, treatment and prognosis
-
Gallbladder polyp is a collective name for a number of different polyp-like (polyp-like) abnormalities. A polyp is a growth with a stalk. Cholesterol polyps are most common in the gallbladder. These are benign injuries or abnormalities. A small polyp in the gallbladder is often discovered by chance during a routine ultrasound or after having the gallbladder surgically removed (gallbladder resection). For smaller gallbladder polyps, regular ultrasound check-ups are sufficient. A polyp in the gallbladder that grows is then noticed during follow-up. Larger polyps will require removal of the gallbladder. More women than men have to deal with a gallbladder polyp. Most people are between 40 and 60 years old when they are diagnosed.
