Hello doctor! I am 24 years old this year and once I had abdominal pain with symptoms like appendicitis, but I went back to check out gallbladder polyps and it has been 7 years and 6 months. Recently, I went back to ultrasound and was diagnosed with multiple gallbladder polyps, according to the diagnosis, the largest polyp was 20mm. May I ask, if I am 24 years old, I have multiple gallbladder polyps, should I remove it? Someone advised the pain to be cut, but I did not see any signs of pain.
