I have a 9 mm polyp in my gallbladder and I'm not sure what to do about it. Should I try medication first or is surgery the better option? I'm worried about which treatment would be safer and more effective for my health.

I'm 27 now but had my uterus removed at 25 and gallbladder surgery 2 years ago. Been having mucus in my stool which makes me scared to eat anything - I've gotten really weak and medicines don't seem to help. What could be causing this and how can I improve my condition?

I'm a bit concerned about my latest USG report. It mentions hepatomegaly with mild fatty changes, grade 1, and also notes that my uterus is bulky. I'm not really sure what this means for my health. Could this be something serious or is it fairly common? Would love to understand what steps I might need to take or any lifestyle changes that could help.
