What precautions/diet should be taken by me to avoid growth of polyps
[|AI|]  Brief Answer:You should establish a follow-up plan with your GI doctor. These polyps should be followed-up using standard abdominal ultrasound or endoscopic ultrasound. Detailed Answer:Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor.First, is a good think that your polyp size is small, because even though in 95 % of the cases the polyps are benign, there are rare cases of cancerous polyps. The size of a gallbladder polyp can help predict whether its cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). Small gallbladder polyps that are less than 10 millimeters in diameter, as in your case, are unlikely to be cancerous and generally don't require treatment. However, these polyps should be followed-up using standard abdominal ultrasound or endoscopic ultrasound, to look for changes that may be an indication of cancer. As in your case, most of the time, they are asymptomatic and are often detected incidentally. So how to deal with these polyps ? See a gastroenterologist and make a follow-up plan. In case of repeated pain or changes in their dimensions and morphology, consider cholecystectomy. In this way you avoid either long term surveillance of the polyps. Regarding diet, it should include fresh, fiber-rich fruits and vegetables such as avocados, cranberries, berries, grapes, cucumbers and beets, broccoli, bell peppers and oranges. You should eat lean meat, fish and poultry, avoiding red meat and all high-fat food in generally. You should Chat Doctor. Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more clarifications.
