A member asked:
I have a 5.3mm diameter polyp in my gallbladder. can it be cancerous? what should i do? when should i repeat the ultrasonography?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is doubtful: It is good to recheck it in 2 months with an ultrasound. If it is benign it will remain same sized. if it increases in size, your gall bladder needs to be removed
