What are Gallbladder Polyps ? Posted: 06-27-07 10:22am
I had a health screening to check
cardiovsular disease, stroke, pelvic and
abdominal abnormailities. I was told by
the sonographer that she found 3
gallbladder polys sizes .6cm x .4 cm. I
don't know what exactly that means. I
scheduled an appointment with my primary
physician in two weeks but i am really
worried it could be something else. In
the the past 5 mos I have gotten really
mild spasms that go away right away. Food
does not bother me since I eat a
relatively low fat diet.

Gallbladder polyps indicate tumors in the
gallbladder. The real nature of the tumors
can be revealed only after a gallbladder
removal surgery and a histo-pathological
examination of the removed gallbladder.
Diet has nothing to do with gallbladder
tumor occurrence.
