Is Polyp Inside The Gallbladder Concerning?

Hello, I had an ultra sound done 2 months ago for my liver but while they were checking the area they check my gall bladder and found a polyp on it. I was told to see a surgeon, do you think it can really be anything, I don t have any pain there? I meant to say found a polyp in side the gall bladder.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
Gallbladder polyps usually are harmless and does not cause any symptoms.
But if it is a big one with a size of more than 1 cm, then regular follow up is necessary and if it is more 1.8 cm the gallbladder has to be removed as sometimes the polyp may be having cancer tissue.

I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
