View allI'm a bit worried about a small polyp in my gallbladder. Can it lead to any type of gallbladder cancer? Also, I feel some minor pain in my abdomen when I'm hungry. Could that be because of the polyp?
Having small size polyp in the gallbladder can potentially increase the risk of developing gallbladder cancer, although it is rare. The minor pain in your abdomen when you are hungry may or may not be directly related to the polyp. It is important to monitor the size of the polyp regularly through imaging studies and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. As for medication, there is no specific drug to treat gallbladder polyps. However, if you are experiencing pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed, following the recommended dosage instructions on the package. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with this issue where I'm producing way too much saliva every day, and it's been going on for years. It's like I constantly need to spit, and if I try to swallow it, I start feeling nauseous. I also get this urge to burp a lot. I work out regularly and stay away from smoking and drinking. It's really getting on my nerves having to spit all the time. Any idea what might be causing this or how to make it stop?
Excessive salivation, along with frequent burping and nausea, can be frustrating, but it's important to identify the underlying cause in order to find the right treatment. Start by considering common causes such as GERD, oral health issues, or stressanxiety. You might also want to speak to a healthcare professional, such as a gastroenterologist or ENT specialist, to help pinpoint the cause and explore appropriate treatment options.
