Hello doctor,
I am 19 years old this year, suffering from many gastrointestinal diseases such as: irritable bowel syndrome and grade 1 internal hemorrhoids. I went to an ultrasound and the result was 4mm gallbladder polyp. Since then, I have rarely had an ultrasound to check. The doctor asked me if I have a 4mm gallbladder polyp that affects my digestion? I thank you doctor.
