Does atrophic gastritis with gastric polyps cause pain?

Patient's question:

10 months ago, I had pain in my side and underwent ultrasound and CT scans. The results showed a 0.3 cm gallbladder polyp and breast hyperplasia. I would like to ask, does atrophic gastritis and gastric polyps cause pain?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if gallbladder polyps or gastric polyps are not large in size, they will never cause pain again. If they are larger, they may press on surrounding nerves, which can lead to pain.
Advice: Gastric polyps, as well as gallbladder polyps, can interfere with the body's absorption function, causing symptoms such as altered appetite and abdominal pain. Currently, treatment should focus on a light diet to avoid greasy and rich foods. At the same time, it is important to develop a regular eating habit, which can help stabilize your symptoms. Wishing you good health!
Doctor's inquiry: In addition to active treatment, patients with gastritis should pay attention to maintaining a positive mood in daily life. A good mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
