How to treat severe rectal polyps?

Polyps are a benign tissue proliferation phenomenon. Compared with malignant hyperplasia, they are a more fortunate symptom because polyps can be treated. But this does not mean that people can sit back and relax when dealing with polyp hyperplasia. If the polyp problem is not handled properly, it will also cause great pain to the patient, and this pain is likely to accompany him for life. For example, rectal polyps are a common symptom. Rectal polyps can cause abdominal pain, constipation and other symptoms in patients, and are not easy to detect, so the timing of treatment is difficult to grasp. Let’s take a look at how to treat severe rectal polyps. People who have these problems can learn about it.

Intestinal polyps refer to abnormal growths of tissue protruding from the surface of the intestinal mucosa, and are collectively referred to as polyps before their pathological nature is determined. Its incidence increases with age and is more common in men. Colon and rectal polyps are the most common, while small intestinal polyps are less common. There are two main types of polyps: inflammatory and adenomatous.

Continuous blood in the stool or blood on the surface of the stool, mostly bright red; secondary inflammatory infection may be accompanied by large amounts of mucus or mucus and blood in the stool; there may be tenesmus; constipation or increased frequency of bowel movements. When the long-pedunculated polyps are large, they may cause intussusception; when the polyps are huge or multiple, intestinal obstruction may occur; when the polyps have a long peduncles and are located close to the anus, the polyps may prolapse out of the anus.

Polyps that meet the indications for endoscopic treatment can be removed endoscopically, and the resected specimens can be sent for pathological examination.

2. Use surgical treatment:

The polyp has a tendency to become malignant or does not meet the indications for endoscopic treatment; or pathological findings after endoscopic resection show residual lesions or cancer.

3. Use medication:
