How to prevent and treat multiple gallbladder polyps?

We know that gallbladder polyposis is a very serious disease, so what are the treatment and prevention of gallbladder polyposis? We need to understand this issue. Because if we find friends or relatives around us suffering from this disease, we can give them some treatment advice in time. And for the health of our family, we also need to understand the prevention of this disease and nip it in the bud so that it has no chance to come into contact with our bodies and harm our health.

When ultrasound reveals gallbladder polyp-like lesions, there are generally no obvious symptoms. If multiple gallbladder polyps are smaller than 1 cm, surgery is not required and observation can continue. Therefore, the general indications for surgery are:

1. Patients with cholecystitis, gallstones and obvious clinical symptoms.

2. Gallbladder polyps are larger than 1 cm, have no clinical symptoms, and are single polyps. Especially if the polyps are found to have abundant blood flow or polyps in the neck of the gallbladder during examination.

3. If there is a possibility of early gallbladder cancer, surgery should be actively considered even if it cannot be confirmed.

The surgical treatment for gallbladder polypoid lesions by most experts is cholecystectomy, the purpose of which is prevention. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now commonly used, with less trauma and faster recovery, and most patients can accept it. During surgery, for patients suspected of early gallbladder cancer, if pathological examination confirms that the cancer has invaded the muscular layer or serosa of the gallbladder, lymph node dissection or extended resection of the gallbladder cancer should theoretically be performed. All removed gallbladders should undergo pathological examination.

prevention

1. Prohibition of alcohol and alcoholic beverages

Alcohol can directly damage liver function, cause liver and gallbladder dysfunction, and disrupt the secretion and excretion of bile, thereby stimulating the gallbladder to form new polyps and/or causing the original polyps to grow and become larger, increasing the cancer risk of gallbladder polyps.

2. Eat regularly and have a good breakfast

Regular diet and a good breakfast are extremely important for patients with gallbladder polyps. If you skip breakfast, the bile secreted at night cannot be utilized and will remain in the gallbladder. If the bile stays in the gallbladder for too long, it can stimulate the gallbladder to form gallbladder polyps or cause the original polyps to enlarge and increase in number.

3. Low cholesterol diet

Reduce cholesterol intake, avoid excessive consumption of high-cholesterol foods such as eggs (especially egg yolks), fatty meat, seafood, scaleless fish, animal offal, etc., and eat more vegetables and whole grains.

To sum up, this is about the treatment and prevention of multiple gallbladder polyps, which is of great help to our lives. We must pay attention to our eating habits in our daily lives and develop good living habits. Regarding the treatment of multiple gallbladder polyps, patients are advised to decide on different treatment methods based on their specific physical conditions.
