Asked for Male, 26 Years

I have been having mild pain in right side of abdomen, below the last rib. the pain is since 6 to 7 months. it is intermittent, comes and goes monthly once for 2 or 3 days. I got an ultrasound done and it showed multiple gall bladder polyps with maximum size of 5 mm. The report said the following : "Multiple hyperechoic foci without posterior acoustic shadowing noted arising from the wall of gall bladder, largest measuring 5 mm" Is gall bladder removal surgery required ? how to know if the polyps are malignant and if it will grow more?
