Introduction
If the polyp is less than 1 cm in diameter and there are no obvious discomfort symptoms, traditional Chinese medicines such as Long Dan Xie Gan Wan, Ge Gen Qin Lian Wan, or Wu Wei Xiang Lian Wan may be used under a doctor's guidance. These medications can usually help alleviate inflammation and promote bile secretion, thereby achieving therapeutic effects. However, if the polyp is larger than 1 cm in diameter, it generally cannot be cured with traditional Chinese medicine alone.
In general, multiple gallbladder polyps refer to gallbladder polypoid lesions. Whether traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can cure them depends on the size of the polyps. If discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. If the polyp is small, it may be curable
If the polyp is less than 1 cm in diameter and there are no obvious symptoms, treatment with traditional Chinese medicines such as Long Dan Xie Gan Wan, Ge Gen Qin Lian Wan, or Wu Wei Xiang Lian Wan may be considered under a doctor's guidance. These medications may help relieve inflammation and promote bile excretion, potentially leading to recovery.
2. If the polyp is large, it may not be curable
However, if the polyp is larger than 1 cm in diameter, it usually cannot be cured with traditional Chinese medicine alone. It is advisable to seek timely medical evaluation from a specialist to determine whether surgical removal or other treatments are necessary.
In daily life, maintaining good living habits, paying attention to dietary hygiene, avoiding overeating and excessive alcohol consumption can help reduce the risk of cholecystitis.
