4mm Gallbladder Polyp found in Ultrasound

Manoj555

Hi I was just told that I have a 4mm polyp in my gallbladder today. I have done some research and learnt that they can be cancerous once reached at 1cm. I was advised to remove my gallbladder. I am 36 years old, and confused what to be done. Sould I wait and monitor it or just go for the surgery? Can anyone share their experience or have any useful info? I do have some abdominal pains on and off.

Hello,

I just found out I have a polyp in gallbladder . This was found by ultrasound. What types of signs and symptoms are you having? My most severe symptom is the pain and discomfort in the center of my back close to right shoulder blade area. I have some bloating and swelling at times.

Please check the Stomach or Colorectal discussion boards. Gall bladder is not considered part of the urinary system.

Hope you find more relevant info there.
