A member asked:
Have a gallbladder polyp was 3mm a year ago is 4.8mm now is it common for a polyp to grow anything to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Polypsth: are tumors, "growths" and as such they certainly grow over time. The "trick" is to decide when they are no longer "welcome"....#1 reason for removal is "pre-cancerous" state ( Some BOWEL polyps have that postential) and the second reason is that they are causing symptoms!You and your Doctor need to confer! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
