General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated. If he is asymptomatic and no signs of jaundice, only follow up is required. In symptomatic cases, surgical removal of the gallbladder may be required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
