I have gall bladder polyps

2018-07-14 11:52:52
I had a routine ultrasound done of my abdomen, and found 3 gall bladder poplyps of size 2.5-3.5 mm. The volume and thickness of gall bladder is normal. Also, no calculi/ cholecystitis is seen. I have never experienced any pain. In the routine blood test my LDL cholesterol level was 143. Could this be the cause of the polyps? Do I need a surgery?

Gall bladder polyp requires removal of gall bladder when the size of a single polyp is more than 1 cm because chances of developing cancer of gall bladder is 2 percent higher than in general population. Feel free to ask any further quary related to it. Keep well.
