Polyps are benign proliferations of the epithelium of the mucosa. Their appearance in the gallbladder is not accompanied by symptoms. Most often, they are discovered when they perform an ultrasound. Therefore, almost all people after the detection of polyps in the gallbladder have questions about what to do, whether surgery is needed, will the medicine improve the situation? Let's figure out what to do with this problem.
Treatment of polyps without surgery
To make it easier for the doctor to prescribe the right treatment, the first thing to do when the polyps in the gallbladder are found is to determine their type and size. The most common type of such tumors is cholesterol polyps. As a rule, they occur in the form of a grid of small inclusions and their size does not exceed 1-2 mm. But there may be larger ones - up to 4 mm.
If you ask the doctor what to do when there are cholesterol polyps in the gallbladder less than 10 mm in size, he will most likely recommend that you do not have surgery. These tumors are not dangerous, but once a month for 1 year should be done surveys to determine whether their size is increasing.
For the treatment of such polyps take medication:
- Ursofalk - contributes to the destruction of deposits, which consist of cholesterol;
- Simvastatin - lowers blood levels of lipoproteins and cholesterol ;
- Ursosan - eliminates cholesterol stones (it works only in the gall bladder, which has not lost its ability to function normally);
- But-shpa together with Gepabene - help to quickly relax the smooth muscles of the organ, relieve spasm, and bile normally passes through all the ducts;
- Holiver - eliminates stagnation and helps to secrete bile.
Taking such medications, you should definitely follow a diet. It is necessary to exclude from the diet irritating food (garlic, fatty meat, legumes, sweets, buns, etc.) and drink plenty of liquid. Every day you need to eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables.
