1.Why do you get gallbladder polyps? In recent years, the detection rate of gallbladder polyps has increased, on the one hand, because of the increase in the popularity of medical checkups, on the other hand, also has a lot to do with people’s dietary habits, dietary structure changes, such as high cholesterol diet, long-term alcohol abuse, excessive consumption of stimulant diet, eating disorders, etc.; it is also pointed out that the widespread use of pesticides and fertilizers, food additives, ionizing radiation, etc. and the formation of gallbladder polyps may have It is also pointed out that the common use of pesticides and fertilizers, food additives, ionizing radiation, etc. may be associated with the formation of gallbladder polyps. 2.What are the symptoms of gallbladder polyps? Gallbladder polyps generally have mild symptoms or even no symptoms. A small number of patients have upper abdominal discomfort, may be accompanied by abdominal pain, the pain is mostly in the right upper abdomen or the right quarter rib area, a few can be accompanied by radiation to the right shoulder and back. Polyps located in the neck of gallbladder can have biliary colic, combined with stones can have biliary colic attacks and acute and chronic inflammatory attacks. 3.Does gallbladder polyp have to be malignant? In fact, gallbladder polyp or gallbladder polyp-like change is just a general term, only a few gallbladder polyps are related to gallbladder cancer. (1) Cholesterol polyps, also known as pseudopolyps, are the most common among cholesterol polyps and are related to high cholesterol diet (egg yolk, fatty meat, fish without scales, animal liver, etc.), patients usually have no symptoms or mild symptoms, theoretically, these polyps are not cancerous. (2) Non-cholesterol benign polyps, also known as true polyps, include various types, among which adenoma of gallbladder is a benign tumor and precancerous lesion, drug treatment for this type of patients is not effective, bile preservation and drug treatment are not recommended, gallbladder removal surgery is recommended. (3) Polyps type early gallbladder adenocarcinoma, once suspected such lesions should be treated by surgery as soon as possible. 4.Can I take medicine to treat gallbladder polyps? For multiple cholesterol polyps, some medications may relieve the symptoms of combined chronic cholecystitis to some extent, and may have some effect on some cholesterol crystals less than 5 mm or prevent new occurrence. Medications are not effective for true polyps. 5.What kind of gallbladder polyps should be operated? Gallbladder polyp is a common disease, neither too worried nor careless. Now we are more health conscious, units or personal physical examination found gallbladder polyps multiple, feel that the growth of multiple polyps must be bad, not afraid of nervous. However, from clinical experience, in general, multiple polyps may be better than single polyps, multiple polyps are mostly benign cholesterol polyps; and if it is a single, in turn, should be highly alert. If it is multiple less than 1 cm, the patient is advised to observe it, but not just leave it alone. Ultrasound is done about half a year, and it is most important to improve the lifestyle and diet during the observation period. If you have uncomfortable symptoms, you can try to take some medications to relieve the symptoms. It is generally believed that multiple gallbladder polyps less than 1 cm in diameter can be suspended without surgery. The surgical treatment of gallbladder polyps has two considerations, on the one hand, it is to prevent cancer or cancer leakage, which mainly refers to the latter two types of polyps mentioned earlier. On the other hand is for symptoms, if the uncomfortable symptoms are not relieved by medication, secondary chronic cholecystitis affects normal work and life, and can be excluded from other factors such as gastric disease caused by gallbladder removal can be considered. 6.Does gallbladder removal have any effect on health? The age of gallbladder removal patients ranges from teenagers to 80 years old, and cholecystectomy has become a common abdominal surgery. Some people have mild diarrhea and bloating in the short term after gallbladder removal, especially after eating large amounts of greasy, high-fat food. This phenomenon can gradually compensate for the missing function of the gallbladder through liver secretion and dilation of the common bile duct, and most diarrhea and bloating can diminish or disappear a few months after surgery. There is no clear evidence from evidence-based medicine that gallbladder removal can cause other diseases in human body, and the current level of medical science believes that removal of gallbladder does not cause major effects on human body. 7.Is cholecystectomy very painful? More than 20 years ago, gallbladder removal required a large incision in the abdomen, but now 99% of the surgery can be done laparoscopically. Traditionally, laparoscopic surgery was done with three or four holes and the surgeon performed the surgery on a 2D monitor. Now doctors can perform laparoscopic surgery under a 3D monitor, which largely makes up for the deficiency of three-dimensional touch in traditional two-dimensional laparoscopic surgery, making the surgery more three-dimensional, safer, more delicate and accurate; doctors complete laparoscopic cholecystectomy through a hole in the belly button, making the postoperative trauma of patients smaller and the wound more beautiful.
