What are the symptoms of gallbladder polyps?

In general, gallbladder polyps may present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, indigestion, abdominal distension, jaundice, and biliary colic.

1. Abdominal pain: Usually manifests as dull or distending pain in the upper right abdomen. It may occur occasionally or worsen after consuming fatty foods.

2. Indigestion: Some patients with gallbladder polyps may experience symptoms of indigestion, such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.

3. Abdominal distension: Patients may frequently feel a sensation of fullness in the upper or upper right abdomen, even after consuming small amounts of food.

4. Jaundice: When gallbladder polyps are large or located in specific positions that block the bile ducts, bile excretion may be obstructed, causing bilirubin to flow back into the bloodstream and resulting in jaundice.

5. Biliary colic: If gallbladder polyps cause obstruction of the cystic duct or lead to cholecystitis, patients may experience severe biliary colic. The pain is typically sudden in onset, persistent or episodically worsening, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting.

In daily life, it is important to reduce cholesterol intake, consume more foods rich in protein and vitamins, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
