A member asked:

Is it painful to have polyps on the gall bladder?

Dr. Wendell Goins answered

Specializes in Vascular Surgery

Possibly: As you may have gallstones and be totally asymptomatic , you may also have gallbladder polyps that do not bother you. Symptomatic gallbladder polyps and those that are large should be considered candidates for removal(laparoscopic cholecystectomy).
