A gallbladder polyp is a small growth that forms on the inner wall of the gallbladder. Most polyps are small and harmless. But some polyps can grow bigger over time and may turn into cancer.

Most people do not even know they have gallbladder polyps. They are usually found during a routine ultrasound done for some other reason. It is important to monitor them regularly and get proper guidance from an experienced gallbladder surgeon in Bangalore.

Gallbladder polyps are found in about 4 to 7 out of every 100 adults. They are more common in men than women. Most polyps are small — less than 10mm — and are not dangerous. But polyps larger than 10mm need immediate attention as they carry a higher risk of cancer.

Regular check-ups with one of the best gastroenterologists in Bangalore like Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi can help you manage gallbladder polyps safely.

• Cholesterol Polyps These are the most common type. They form due to cholesterol deposits on the gallbladder wall. They are harmless and rarely turn into cancer. They are usually less than 10mm in size.
• Inflammatory Polyps These form due to long-term inflammation of the gallbladder wall. They are usually harmless but need regular monitoring.
• Adenomyomatosis This is a condition where the gallbladder wall becomes thick and forms small pockets. It is not cancerous but can cause discomfort. It is often treated with laparoscopic surgery.
• Adenomatous Polyps These are the most serious type. They are real tumours and can turn into gallbladder cancer. Any polyp of this type larger than 10mm must be removed by surgery as soon as possible.
• Hyperplastic Polyps These are overgrowths of normal gallbladder tissue. They are usually harmless but need to be monitored regularly.

The exact cause is not always clear. But these are the common reasons:

• High cholesterol levels in the blood
• Gallbladder stones — people with gallstones are more likely to get polyps
• Long-term inflammation of the gallbladder
• Obesity and eating too much fatty food
• Family history of gallbladder disease or cancer
• Liver disease or other metabolic conditions

Eating healthy and getting regular health check-ups can help in finding polyps early and managing them properly.

Most people with gallbladder polyps have no symptoms at all. They are usually found by accident during an ultrasound. But some people may feel:

• Mild pain or discomfort on the upper right side of the stomach
• Nausea or indigestion after eating fatty food
• A feeling of fullness or bloating after meals
• Pain that comes and goes

If you have any of these symptoms or if polyps have been found in your ultrasound, please see Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi for gallbladder polyps treatment in Bangalore without delay.

Ignoring gallbladder polyps can be dangerous. Here is what can happen if they are not treated on time:

• Gallbladder cancer — Large polyps above 10mm can turn into cancer if not removed in time
• Chronic pain and inflammation — Polyps can irritate the gallbladder wall and cause ongoing pain
• Gallbladder stones — Polyps and gallstones often occur together and can make each other worse
• Bile duct blockage — In rare cases polyps can block the bile duct and cause jaundice

Early treatment by an experienced surgeon can prevent all these serious problems.

Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi uses these tests to diagnose and monitor gallbladder polyps:

• Ultrasound This is the first and most common test. It clearly shows the size and location of polyps. Small polyps are monitored with repeat ultrasound every 6 to 12 months.
• Endoscopic Ultrasound A more detailed scan done with an endoscope. It gives a clearer picture of the polyp. It helps decide if the polyp is cancerous or harmless.
• CT Scan and MRI Used for complex cases to check for cancer spread or to plan surgery.
• Blood Tests Done to check liver function and overall health before any treatment is planned.

Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi explains all test results to patients clearly and simply before recommending any treatment.

1. Regular Monitoring Small polyps less than 6mm that are not causing symptoms just need regular ultrasound monitoring every 6 to 12 months. If they do not grow surgery may not be needed.

2. Laparoscopic Surgery: This is the main treatment for gallbladder polyps. The gallbladder is completely removed through small keyhole cuts using laparoscopic surgery. Surgery is recommended when:

• The polyp is larger than 10mm
• The polyp is growing fast on repeat scans
• The polyp is causing pain or other symptoms
• There is a suspicion of cancer
• Polyps are present along with gallbladder stones

Laparoscopic surgery is very safe. Most patients go home within 24 hours and recover fully within 1 week.

3. Robotic Surgery: For complex cases robotic surgery gives even greater precision and safety. Dr. Bhushan Chittawadagi is one of the very few surgeons in Bangalore who offers robotic surgery for gallbladder polyps.
