Polyps are excess flesh growing on the original parts of the human body. Polyps in some parts will not affect people's normal life, but polyps in some parts may endanger people's health. Some more serious polyps require surgical removal. Polyps vary in size and shape. Some people may develop strawberry-shaped polyps on their bodies. Let’s take a look at what this is.

When polyps grow in the intestines, the treatment of intestinal polyps is generally based on resection. Of course, this is not absolute. Medication is also one of the treatment options, and the specific treatment plan is determined based on the patient's condition. Some people will seek medical treatment due to some digestive symptoms and thus discover intestinal polyps. This is usually accidental and not necessarily directly related to the disease. The next step of treatment is determined by the shape of the polyps. Sometimes the doctor will recommend removal, the main purpose of which is to prevent cancer. Some people will experience symptom relief after polyp removal, while some people still need to continue seeking medical treatment.

More than 75% of gastric polyps are hyperplastic, and 10% to 25% are adenomatous. The latter is a benign tumor whose incidence is second only to gastric leiomyoma. The diameter ranges from 1mm to 1cm, and some may be ≥4cm. They are mostly single and may have a pedicle or no pedicle. The surface of gastric polyps can become malignant, and the malignant transformation rate of multiple polyps is higher than that of a single polyp. Some people call the severe atypical hyperplasia on the surface of the polyp "carcinoma in situ". At this time, the abnormal cells are limited to the surface of the epithelium and have not invaded the basement membrane of the gland. The canceration rates are in the order of papillary adenoma, tubular papillary adenoma and tubular adenoma. The canceration rate is also related to the size of the polyp: 7.5% for those <1 cm, 10% for those 1-2 cm, and 50% for those >2 cm.

[Symptoms]: Gastric polyps: Patients with gastric polyps are often accompanied by achlorhydria or low gastric acid, so they often experience mild pain and discomfort in the upper abdomen, nausea, anorexia, indigestion, weight loss and diarrhea. If there is erosion or ulcer on the surface of the polyp, intermittent or continuous bleeding may occur.
