Thank you for submitting your question! With gallbladder polyps, depending on the size of the polyp and the age of the patient, there are different treatment directions. For patients <50 years old:
Follow up every 6 months for polyps <10mm. Surgery with polyps >= 10mm For patients >50 years old, if polyps >= 7mm are detected (documents >=8mm), surgery is indicated. To know if your condition requires treatment for gallbladder polyps, your doctor needs to check the size and do more in-depth examinations to make a conclusion.
Therefore, you should go to medical facilities or hospitals of Vinmec Health System for examination in order to have appropriate assessments. Wish you always healthy.
