By the time patients reach me, many have tried tablets and home remedies and are still getting attacks after meals. > > If stones are causing symptoms, keyhole removal of the gallbladder is a safe, permanent cure, and most people are home in a day or two.

If symptoms are severe and you can't get through, go to the nearest emergency department. 6Frequently asked questions (FAQs) #### Is a polyp cancer? Very rarely. Most are cholesterol polyps with no cancer risk. The risk rises with size, especially above 1 cm, and with age over 50, a single polyp or a broad base. #### How often do I need a scan? Small polyps under 6 mm are usually rechecked at 6 months, then yearly for a few years. Polyps of 6 to 9 mm are watched more closely. #### Should I just have it removed to be safe? For small polyps without risk features, surgery usually isn't necessary. For polyps near or above 1 cm, growing polyps, or those with gallstones and pain, removal makes sense. #### Can just the polyp be removed? No. The whole gallbladder is removed, which is safe and doesn't affect normal digestion. #### Can polyps disappear? Some apparent polyps do. Repeat scans confirm what's going on. #### Is there a diet that shrinks polyps? No specific diet does, though a balanced, lower-fat diet is sensible. #### What should I bring? All previous ultrasound reports and images, so any growth can be compared. #### What is the cost of gallbladder polyp treatment in Vijayawada? The cost depends on the treatment you need, the hospital and room type, any tests, and the anaesthesia used. Dr. Naresh Veeranki gives a clear, itemised estimate after examination, before anything is booked, and most health insurance policies cover gallbladder polyp evaluation.
