Should I Be Concerned About A Polyp In Gall Bladder That Causes Intermittent Abdominal Pain?
I am a 39 year old female. Generally healthy in a healthy weight range and I exercise regularly. I have been experiencing right upper abdominal pain intermittently for the past 6 weeks. However in the last week it has been constant. I just had an ultrasound and a polyp was found in my gallbladder. The doctor has not told me how large the polyp is but I am worried about it. I aim to get a copy of my report next week as the internet indicates that size is important in determining treatment.. Because my polyp is causing symptoms will they want to take it out. I am also worried that it could be something sinister.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The upper abdomen pain because of the gallbladder polyp is not very common or say it rarely causes pain but not in the upper area of abdomen, to me it could be acid peptic disease, if I would be your doctor then I would start the following treatment .1) Omeprazole tab. 40 mg once in day at evening time for six days
2) Dicyclomine tab. three times in day
3) Chlorodiazepoxide three times in day
this regime will help you as long as the upper abdomen complain is concern, have nice time.
