How about intestinal polyps? Benign tumors of large intestine often show polypoid appearance under colonoscopy, which are collectively called colorectal polyps with non-neoplastic mucosal protuberant lesions. Epidemiological studies have found that colorectal polyps are 22 times more likely to cause colorectal cancer than non-polyps, and about 70%~80% of colorectal cancer is developed on the basis of polyps, which is a precursor of colorectal cancer. Yu Juying, Department of Gastroenterology, Jiaxing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has no clinical symptoms. More than 50% of patients were found in physical examination. With the increase of polyp volume, the symptoms become more and more obvious, showing different degrees of abdominal discomfort or abdominal pain, bloody stool, changes in stool characteristics or habits, and even gastrointestinal bleeding, intussusception, intestinal obstruction and so on. The appearance of symptoms is closely related to the histological type, location, quantity and morphological characteristics of polyps. The presence or absence of clinical symptoms is of little help to the diagnosis of colorectal polyps and has no clear diagnostic value. Therefore, if such diseases are suspected, colonoscopy should be carried out as soon as possible to make a clear diagnosis. The principle of polyp treatment is to remove the polyp when it is found. At present, endoscopic treatment has made great progress, and most polyps can be removed under endoscope. After polypectomy, colonoscopy should be checked regularly to find the recurrence of polyps and whether there are new polyps as soon as possible. View original post >>
