What to do if polyps are found during colonoscopy

What should you do if polyps are found during colonoscopy? Many people may not understand this issue very well. When encountering this situation, you must first remove the tissue for pathological examination to confirm the nature of the polyp. Such patients cannot smoke, drink, or eat spicy food. They should eat more fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins and easy to digest. Let us now take a closer look at what to do if polyps are found during colonoscopy.

Some patients may find polyps in their intestines during colonoscopy. If this happens, the polyps can be removed directly during the examination. After the polyp is removed, it is sent to the testing department to determine whether the polyp is benign. Generally speaking, in clinical practice, some rectal polyps are occasionally found. This is a normal phenomenon. Therefore, patients do not need to be too nervous if polyps are found during colonoscopy. Just complete the colonoscopy with peace of mind and then undergo polypectomy surgery. The polyps can also be removed during the colonoscopy.

If polyps are found during colonoscopy, there is no need to panic too much, nor is there any need to interrupt the colonoscopy. Just complete the colonoscopy with peace of mind. The growth of polyps in the intestines is closely related to the patient's eating habits. Irregular eating habits and long-term overeating may cause polyps to grow in the patient's intestines, so it is very necessary to maintain a regular eating habit and a good schedule. When polyps are found during a colonoscopy, doctors generally do not remove the polyps directly from the body. Therefore, after the examination, it is best for patients to go to a specialized department to remove the intestinal polyps and test whether the polyps are benign.

Discovering polyps during colonoscopy is not a very dangerous thing and will not affect the progress of the colonoscopy, so patients do not need to be too nervous. However, after the examination, the polyps in the intestine must be removed in time and tested to see whether they are benign in order to determine the subsequent treatment.
