Suggest Treatment For Gallbladder Polyps
My daughter, 34, has. Been diagnosed with one polyp in her gallbladder. She s had a lot of painful symptoms. Doctors say they must remove gallbladder. She already has IBS. I told her to try natural cleanse cure. She also has an ileus, andslow bowel movement. The polyp is the cholesterol kind. Should she have the surgery?

Hello
Generally asymptomatic and small polyps(up to 10 mm)only need follow up ultrasound.
Gall bladder polyps are generally benign findings and it is not concerning.
Since it is symptomatic in your daughter's case,she may need cholecystectomy(surgical removal of gall bladder) after evaluation.
I advise to follow your doctor's advise.
Natural treatment is generally not helpful in these cases.
Get well soon.
