Although both gallstones and gallbladder polyps are gallbladder diseases, their nature and severity are very different. First, let's look at gallstones. Gallstones are a relatively common gallbladder disease, usually formed by crystallization of cholesterol or bilirubin in bile. The size, shape, and location of gallstones will affect their symptoms and severity. Generally speaking, symptoms of gallstones include right upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. If gallstones are not treated for a long time, the inflammation worsens, which may lead to serious consequences such as gallbladder perforation, suppuration, and gangrene. Although this situation is relatively rare, it still needs to be taken seriously by patients. Let's look at gallbladder polyps. Gallbladder polyps are a relatively special type of lesion, which usually refers to small fleshy protrusions that grow on the wall of the gallbladder. Most gallbladder polyps do not cause any symptoms and do not affect the normal function of the gallbladder. However, if the gallbladder polyp is larger than 1 cm, or if obvious symptoms occur, such as right upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc., surgical treatment should be considered. Because this type of gallbladder polyp has a higher probability of becoming cancerous, if it is not treated in time, it may cause great harm to the patient. In summary, the severity of gallstones and gallbladder polyps cannot be simply compared. Regardless of which disease you suffer from, patients should seek medical attention in a timely manner and receive professional diagnosis and treatment. The doctor will develop an appropriate treatment plan based on the patient's specific situation to avoid worsening of the condition. |
