How are gallbladder polyps caused?

Gallbladder polyps generally have no symptoms, so it is difficult to detect them. They will be seen during physical examinations. Once detected, they should be treated promptly. This is mainly because gallbladder polyps can become diseased and eventually lead to cancer. Cancer occurs unconsciously, and many people discover it too late. Since it is so terrible, we must take precautions before it happens. Only by knowing the causes can we better prevent it.

The symptoms of most gallbladder polyps are similar to those of chronic cholecystitis, mainly manifested as mild discomfort in the right upper abdomen, and biliary colic may occur when accompanied by stones. However, a considerable number of patients have no symptoms and are only discovered during physical examinations. It is generally believed that gallbladder polyps are a predisposing factor for gallbladder cancer. In recent years, there have been many reports on the canceration of gallbladder polyps at home and abroad. Especially when accompanied by stones, the chance of canceration will increase significantly.

There are many reasons for the formation of gallbladder polyps, including diet, personal constitution and other aspects. Diet is a very important reason:

People with the following conditions are more likely to get this disease

(1) Those who skip breakfast or rarely eat breakfast and have irregular diet;

(2) Frequent drinking, eating greasy food, high cholesterol food, animal offal, and irregular diet;

(3) The mental pressure from social life and work is relatively high, and the person often becomes irritable, depressed, and has little physical activity;

(4) Work stress, frequent staying up late and irregular lifestyle.

Gallbladder polyps are a common disease, which are divided into single gallbladder polyps and multiple gallbladder polyps. If you have this disease, surgical treatment is generally required. For single gallbladder polyps, if the polyp is small, only cholesterol crystals may be found after surgical resection. However, if it is confirmed to be multiple gallbladder polyps, or large polyps, surgical resection of the gallbladder should generally be considered. Otherwise, if the polyps become malignant and become gallbladder cancer, the prognosis is extremely poor, and most patients die within a few months of onset. For patients with small polyps who are unwilling to undergo surgery, they should be closely followed up and have regular B-ultrasound examinations. If any changes occur, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

People with gallbladder polyps must pay attention to changing the bad living habits mentioned above. They also need to maintain a regular diet and be sure to eat breakfast. Don't smoke or drink, don't have too much psychological pressure, eat less greasy food, try to have a light diet, exercise more and pay attention to rest. Go to the hospital for regular check-ups. I hope everyone can recover soon!
