I had a USG scan that showed a 9.8 mm by 9.2 mm polyp in my gallbladder but I don't have any symptoms. How do I calculate the diameter from these measurements? I heard polyps over 10 mm might need surgery should I be concerned about this?

My mom had a heart attack in mid-March and had to get an angioplasty. Right after she came home from the hospital, she's been having constant diarrhea. She's really scared to eat anything because of it. She's dealing with both high blood pressure and diabetes. Do you have any idea what's causing this and how we can help stop the diarrhea?
In this case, it is important to consult with her doctor to rule out any other underlying causes. To help stop the loose motions, she can take a medication called Loperamide (Imodium) 2mg after each loose stool, up to a maximum of 16mg per day. Additionally, she can try taking a probiotic supplement like Saccharomyces boulardii to help restore the balance of good bacteria in her gut. It is also important for her to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids and to eat small, bland meals throughout the day. If the loose motions persist, her doctor may need to adjust her medications or investigate further
