Gallbladder polyps are usually caused by family inheritance, inflammatory stimulation, stones and other reasons.
1. Family genetic
factors may play a certain role in the formation of gallbladder polyps. Some patients may be affected by genetic inheritance, which may lead to abnormal polyp growth in gallbladder parts.
2. Inflammation stimulates
repeated episodes of cholecystitis, which may lead to chronic inflammation of gallbladder wall and stimulate mucosal cell proliferation to form polyps.
3.
The presence of gallstones can cause chronic stimulation and inflammation of gallbladder mucosa, thus increasing the risk of polyp formation
