Hi doctor, My recent ultrasound of the gallbladder showed a 4 mm polyp, a 1.7 cm stone and a small amount of sludge. Though I am asymptomatic, I visited my gastroenterologist. His opinion was that though rare, having a stone and polyp increases my risk to malignancy and suggested removal. I am very hesitant to removal and seeking your input regarding the increased malignancy risk. Would Ursodiol be useful? If so, how long would it take to work?
