I had a annual medical checkup, the ultrascan results revealed cholelithiasis with a lesion of 21mm x 16mm suggestive of organised sludge/polyp. I do not have any pain, please suggest what should be done. do I need to wait or should I get my gallbladder removed.
HelloCholelithiasis means there is presence of calculus in gall bladder. There is also possibility of organized sludge/polyp in the gall bladder. Definitive treatment in this condition is surgical removal of gall bladder. Gall bladder calculus may cause infection, obstruction,cancer in long term. So, it should be removed surgically. Surgery can be done microscopically. Recovery is fast by this procedure. You shouldn't wait and should consult your surgeon. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
