Should Gall Bladder Be Removed If Ultrasound Shows Cysts?
My Ultra Sound and Hida Scan revealed cysts within my gallbladder. My symptoms up to this point have been chills, fatigue and moderate loss of appetite. No consitant pain except for flare ups about once a year.
Doc suggests surgery to remove gallbladder but I want to be 100% sure this is a good solution and will stopy my symptoms.

Hi and welcome to HCM Thanks for the query.
Cysts or polyps may be cause of your symptoms and i would suggest cholecysrectomy too. this is routine and simple procedure today. Of course, your symptoms may not be related to gallbladder especially if these are small cysts so it is possible that surgery wont be helpful at all,but it will definitely prevent further issues which could be caused by gallbladder stones.
Wish you good health. Regards
