What are some common reasons i might have developed gallbladder polyps?

See below.: Gb polyps affect 5% of the adult population. Exact cause is not known but related to age and presence of gallstones which in turn is related to obesity as well.

Bad luck: What size are they? Speak with a general surgeon about this. Take your ultrasound report so they can evaluate the size and characteristics. I would not ignore this without first discussing with a surgeon.
