Gallbladder polyps measuring 6 by 4 mm usually do not require surgery, particularly if you have no risk factors for gallbladder cancer. Your doctor may recommend periodic ultrasound scans to check whether the polyps grow or change. Surgery may be considered if a polyp becomes larger, reaches 10 mm, or if you have other risk factors. Ursodiol (ursodeoxycholic acid) is not a standard treatment for gallbladder polyps and is not expected to make them disappear. It should not be taken specifically for this purpose without medical advice. Regular straining because of hard stools increases pressure inside the abdomen and may contribute to or worsen a hernia, especially if there is already a weakness in the abdominal wall. However, straining does not necessarily mean that you will develop a hernia. For long-standing IBS-C (irritable bowel syndrome with constipation), options other than prucalopride include polyethylene glycol, appropriate fibre intake, adequate fluids, and other prescription medicines such as linaclotide or lubiprostone. The best choice depends on your symptoms and medical history. A gastroenterologist can assess your constipation and recommend a suitable treatment plan.
