What Does The US With 8mm Polyps On Gall Bladder Indicate?

I had an ultrasound in Nov that showed that I had several stomes/polyps lagest one 5mm. Repeated ultrasound in March & showed several polyps largest one 8mm. Makes me wonder if that 5mm grew that quick or measurements not correct. Considering removing gallblader but unsure.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have multiple polyps in gall bladder. Largest was 5 mm in November and now its 8 mm. It may be slightly increased and 1 to 2 mm variation is common so its not a big difference. whether it is 5 mm or 8 mm it doesn't make any difference in treatment. You should go for cholycystectomy.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
