Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
A polyp of 3.7 mm in the gallbladder is usually harmless and a not a thing to be worried about. Only if the size is above 10 mm he would require periodic follow up with ultrasound scan and even removal of the gallbladder.
This small polyp which your father has does not require any treatment now.
I hope that answers your question. Regards.
