Hi.noted history of gallbladder polyps. Are you experiencing any sign or symptom which may be related to it (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc.)? If the symptoms are bothersome, persistent, or increasing in frequency of occurrence, it is best to consult with a doctor with urgency, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics (such as repeat ultrasound, blood count, liver function tests, etc.) and management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. It is also important to remember that gallbladder polyps have the risk for malignancy transformation, hence, a followup/consult with a doctor is of significance. Cholecystectomy (surgical removal of the gallbladder) is the definitive treatment, which could be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique. Low fat diet is also recommended. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
