The gallbladder is an organ in the human body that is used to store bile and plays a role in buffering the pressure of the bile ducts. There are two main directions of gallbladder lesions in the human body: stone lesions and non-stone lesions. Gallbladder polyps are non-stone polyps that grow on the inner wall of the gallbladder. There are several types of gall polyps, both tumorigenic and non-tumorigenic. Will gall polyps disappear on their own without treatment?

A common type of bile polyp

Bile polyps can be divided into adenomatous polyps and lymphatic polyps from the location of the growth, which are located on top of the gallstones and lymphatic tissues, respectively. From its nature, biliary polyps can be divided into cholesterol polyps, hyperplastic polyps and inflammatory polyps, cholesterol polyps are caused by cholesterol crystals, while hyperplastic polyps and inflammatory polyps are often accompanied by cholecystitis or gallstones. Among them, adenomatous polyps and lymphoid polyps, hyperplastic polyps are prone to cancer, while cholesterol polyps and inflammatory polyps are generally not malignant.

Second, the cause of bile polyps

Cholesterol polyps and bile stagnation has a great relationship, bile stagnation will make cholesterol crystals clustered together to form polyps. Bile stagnation is usually caused by an inflammatory narrowing of the bile ducts leading to obstruction, which slows the flow of bile and thus creates the conditions for the formation of bile polyps.

Other types of bile polyps are usually associated with cholecystitis or gallstones, which can lead to polyps when the liver and gallbladder are not functioning properly, and when air is blocked and blood is not flowing well. However, the symptoms of bile polyps are not obvious, a few people will have abdominal pain, nausea, and generally need to be in the hospital through the ultrasound to find and confirm the diagnosis.

Three, bile polyp treatment

The treatment of bile polyps depends on the size of the polyp, there is no medication that can cure the bile polyp, usually surgical treatment. But if the polyp is less than 1cm, the possibility of cancer is small and will not affect the daily life, you only need to medication to assist the treatment, do not need to have to carry out surgery. However, if the bile polyp is large and is likely to become cancerous, it should be removed as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration of the condition. The bile polyp patients should eat more carrots and other fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A in their diets and limit the amount of cholesterol in their diets.

In short, gallbladder polyps do not go away on their own. If the polyp is not more than 1cm, it can be controlled by medication. Once it exceeds 1cm, it can't be ignored, and there is a possibility that the polyp will become cancerous. Therefore, you should consult a doctor in time and undergo a cholecystectomy to cure it. In daily life, you should also pay attention to adequate rest, balanced diet, to protect the normal function of the gallbladder.
