I have gall bladder polyps
I had a routine ultrasound done of my abdomen, and found 3 gall bladder poplyps of size 2.5-3.5 mm. The volume and thickness of gall bladder is normal. Also, no calculi/ cholecystitis is seen.
I have never experienced any pain. In the routine blood test my LDL cholesterol level was 143. Could this be the cause of the polyps?
Do I need a surgery?
