Suggest Treatment For Gallbladder Polyps
Ultrasound of gallbladder showed possible polyps, but no sludge/no stones. HIDA ejection fraction 37%. Symptoms are diarrhea and nausea immediately after eating greasy foods, occasional vomiting of bile, all within past 6 months. Do you think a surgeon would say yes its time for gallbladder to GO?

Hello
Gallbladder polyps are growths in the wall of the gallbladder.
Generally these ere benign findings but 5 % cases may be cancerous.
Size is important criteria in management,so it is important to know its size.
Small polyps up to 10 mm are not cancerous and generally don't require any treatment.It may only require follow up ultrasound.
Treatment of larger gallbladder polyps includes surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy).
You need evaluation by a surgeon.
