Question

I'm really worried about my mom's recent health checkup. The ultrasound showed that her gallbladder has quite a few polyps, with one measuring about 15mm. We took the reports to some gastroenterologists, and they think surgery to remove the gallbladder is the way to go. But I'm wondering if there are any alternative treatments or maybe something like homeopathy that might help instead of jumping straight to surgery?

Gall bladder polyp is incidental findings. Any polyp less than 1.5 cms should be observed and follow up to be done. Polyp more than 1.5 cms carries chances of malignancy and needs removal of gall bladder.
