Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Dong
Multiple gallbladder polyps are considered to be associated with the following factors:
1. Abnormal cholesterol metabolism: Dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism in the body may lead to multiple cholesterol polyps in the gallbladder.
2. Chronic inflammation: Conditions such as gallstones can cause the stones to rub against the gallbladder wall, triggering a chronic inflammatory response. This may stimulate hyperplasia of the gallbladder mucosa, leading to the formation of inflammatory gallbladder polyps.
