Recommendation : Tablets can not help to remove polyp in gold bladder. You have to discuss treatment plan with your Doctor, who know know your clinical presentation/ complains and so on.

Question 3

what symptoms do gall bladder polyps cause?

Accepted Answer

Generally none: Polyps are often an incidental finding.

Question 4

i have a single 4mm gall bladder polyps, experiencing pain around the area, does that mean i might have gallstones. should i remove the polyps asap.?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Polyps are mistaken for small stones, there is no urgency. Polyps are not removed but treated by cholecystectomy. Early cancer which  is rare may present as a polyp. If other causes of pain are ruled out consider removing your gallbladder.

Question 6

hi doctor, 22 yrs, gall bladder polyp. (gall bladder is normal in contours. a 5mm immobile echogenic focus noted along the wall of gall bladder means?

Accepted Answer

Gallbladder polyp: Polyps of the gallbladder are typically incidental findings detected during radiologic imaging of the abdomen. They are usually harmless. The recommendation for 5mm polyp would be to repeat the Ultrasound in 12 mo to re-check the size. If not changing, no need to worry.

Question 7

i have been going for a routine abdomen ultrasound for years now for a gall bladder polyp. for the first time, radiologist noted an accessory spleen. what does this mean? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Accessary spleen means you have some splenic tissue in addition to the normal organ. If asymptomatic -needs only observation

Question 8

severe abdomen pain. voveran injection relieved instantly. now no pain. ultrasound report shows enlarged liver and 6.2 mm gall bladder polyp. cause ?

Accepted Answer

Liver  patholoogy: Voveran SR (Diclofenac SR)? Voveran SR (Diclofenac SR) is in a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Dx of liver problem 
must be made, possibly by bx especially if no evidence of cirrhosis.  Liver pain usually from rapid expansion of.capsule  Presence of GB polyp must be addressed possibly by cholecystectomy and why Volveran for pain.

Question 9

how do i get rid of gall bladder stones?

Accepted Answer

Cholecystectomy...: Aka, gallbladder removal.  Gallstones are made by the gallbladder and will re-form if we just remove the stones.  Thankfully, people do very well without them and they can almost-always be removed via outpatient laparoscopic surgery, returning to normal activities in 7-10 days.  If you have gallstones and are having attacks of pain, i recommend that you see a general surgeon.

Question 10

how do i get rid of a gall bladder stone from home and with no visit to the doctor/hospital?

Accepted Answer

Can't be done: The only proven way to remove a stone from the gallbladder is through surgery. Attempts at dissolving gallbladder stones were not successful as the stones tend to recur off medication. Gallbladder "cleanses" using dietary means have not been shown to be effective. Sometimes gallstones can be "silent" or asymptomatic; removing them doesn't always solve the problem. A doctor can help you decide.
