The gallbladder, is a small organ where bile (a fluid produced by the liver) is stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine.
The gallbladder, is a small organ where bile (a fluid produced by the liver) is stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine.
The main purpose of the gallbladder is to store bile, also called gall, needed for the digestion of food. The gallbladder is part of the biliary system and serves as a reservoir for bile, which is produced by the liver. The liver produces the bile and then it flows through the hepatic ducts into the gallbladder. At any one time, 30 to 60 millilitres (1.0 to 2.0 US fl oz) of bile is stored within the gallbladder.
Gallbladder polyps are growths or lesions resembling growths (polypoid lesions) in the wall of the gallbladder. True polyps are abnormal accumulations of mucous membrane tissue that would normally be shed by the body. The main types of polypoid growths of the gallbladder include cholesterol polyp/cholesterosis, cholesterosis with fibrous dysplasia of gallbladder, adenomyomatosis, hyperplastic cholecystosis, and adenocarcinoma.
Polypoid lesions of the gallbladder affect approximately 5% of the adult population. Most affected individuals are asymptomatic, and their gallbladder polyps are detected during abdominal ultrasonography performed for unrelated conditions. Although the majority of gallbladder polyps are benign, most commonly cholesterol polyps, malignant transformation is a concern. The differentiation of benign from malignant lesions can be challenging. Several features, including patient age, polyp size and number, and rapid growth of polyps, are important discriminating features between benign and malignant polyps.

I’ve been having gallbladder stone symptoms (loose stools, pain below right breast bone, burping) with no gallstones found in ultrasound. Symptoms seems to be triggered by foods. Ultrasound found a polyp in gallbladder the size of 8mm. Would this be the cause of my symptoms? Should I have gallbladder removed? I’m 32 female.
