If the polyps in the gallbladder are small (less than 1 cm), do not grow and do not cause any symptoms, it is usually not necessary to remove the gallbladder. However, it is recommended to regularly monitor their size with ultrasound, as larger polyps can increase the risk of complications. It is worth consulting a doctor to establish an appropriate control plan.
