Multiple gallbladder polyps

When it comes to the disease of multiple gallbladder polyps, I believe many friends are not very familiar with it. In fact, multiple gallbladder polyps are concentrated in the right upper abdomen, and this type of disease is one of the most harmful diseases. It not only harms our health, but also can induce polyp cancer in severe cases, and even directly threaten our lives. So what is the treatment for multiple gallbladder polyps?

In fact, the cause of multiple gallbladder polyps is not only due to improper diet, but also related to our daily bad emotions, such as depression, irritability, etc. It may also be caused by staying up late frequently or even overwork. How to treat multiple gallbladder polyps?

Causes of multiple gallbladder polyps

The latest research shows that the onset of gallbladder polyps is due to emotional disorders (depression, irritability), dietary damage (excessive consumption of fatty and greasy foods, excessive drinking), excessive work and rest (fatigue, excessive mental strain, excessive comfort), and exposure to external evils (heat and dampness, wind and cold). Failure of the liver and gallbladder to discharge qi properly, obstruction of Qi, poor blood circulation, poor bile excretion, accumulation of dampness and heat, and internal stasis of blood will lead to the formation of masses and accumulation symptoms over time. A mixture of reality and illusion.

1. Regarding the size of polypoid lesions: Due to the ultrasound section or measurement errors, a difference of 1-3mm is understandable. It is impossible for two measurements on the same person to be exactly the same.

2. Regarding the number of polyps: Generally, malignant lesions of the gallbladder are mostly single (such as gallbladder cancer), while benign lesions of the gallbladder are often multiple (such as inflammatory polyps, cholesterol polyps, etc.), so in this case, I think benign lesions such as inflammatory polyps and cholesterol polyps are more likely;

Treatment

Polypoid lesions in the gallbladder require annual color B-ultrasound examinations. If the polyps become larger or there is discomfort in the right upper abdomen, it is recommended to visit the hospital's hepatobiliary surgery department.

A. In our country, there is an overreaction in the treatment of gallbladder wall polypoid lesions. That is, patients are afraid of cancer and often actively ask doctors to remove their gallbladders, so not all treatments are done in accordance with medical routine.

B. Patients undergo active conservative treatment (active anti-inflammatory, gallbladder-promoting, light diet, gallbladder-protecting and breath-regulating prescriptions, etc.), and are reviewed every 1-3 months. If the polyps become smaller, less or disappear, then it is often considered to be inflammatory polyps;

C. If there is no obvious change in the order of magnitude of the polyp after 1-3 months of active conservative treatment, that is, it is smaller than 10mm (surgeons often use a diameter greater than 10mm as the surgical standard), you can have a follow-up check every six months or a year. If it is a malignant lesion, it should grow bigger after 3 months. If it does not grow, it means it is benign. In this case, a follow-up check every six months is sufficient without spending extra money.

D. If the tumor grows larger than 10 mm after 1-3 months of conservative treatment, and ultrasound highly suspects malignancy, surgery should be performed.

Regarding multiple gallbladder polyps, timely treatment is actually very critical. First of all, you need to choose a regular hospital. In addition, patients also need to pay attention to daily diet and gallbladder protection and other conditioning methods. If the situation is serious and the polyp is too large, you should actively cooperate with the doctor and undergo surgery in time to completely remove the gallbladder and the diseased area.
