I have a gallbladder polyp also. Not sure yet what will be done about it. Also have crohn's disease so I'm sure that will have some bearing on whether they operate or not.

Hi,
I have multiple gallbladder polyps and am due for another ultrasound at the end of March. Alot of doc's don't know how to manage polyps. My gyn at Mayo said they never go away and the gallbladder will eventually have to come out! She said an ultrasound should be done every 6 months(don't know why they wait). It sounds like with any polyps there is a chance of cancer. I found that out on a web-site about gallbladder polyps. My pain is there all the time sometimes is real strong. But they said gallbladder polyps should not cause pain-I say to heck with that!!!
Let me know what you all find out.
Sincerely, B-Jean
