Are rectal polyps serious? What are the impacts?

There are many types of diseases, both serious and mild. Rectal polyps are a common clinical disease. Although they are not serious, they can easily worsen if not treated. Therefore, no matter how serious the disease is, it must be treated promptly. Rectal polyps need to be removed surgically, and will have no effect on the body after recovery.

1. Rectal polyps are the most common benign adenomas of the rectum and can be seen in young and middle-aged people. This disease is different from malignant tumors. It grows slowly, the cells are well differentiated, and it will not metastasize to other places. Therefore, although it is a tumor, it does not directly threaten life. Rectal polyps are mostly single, with a smooth surface and a very brittle texture, which can be easily abraded by stool, causing bleeding and ulceration. A small number of polyps are multiple, especially those without sessile polyps and with a wide base, which can transform into malignant tumors, so it is better to treat them early. The cause of this disease is unknown, so it cannot be prevented. No effective treatment has been found yet. The best approach is endoscopic surgical resection. Therefore, it is better to follow the doctor's advice and undergo surgical removal as soon as possible.

2. Polyps refer to a type of abnormal growth of tissue protruding from the surface of the mucosa. Before the pathological nature is determined, they are generally called polyps. Generally speaking, polyps are formed by the growth and aggregation of cells originating from the mucosa. Rectal polyps are common clinical diseases. Their incidence increases with age and is more common in men than in women. Although rectal polyps are not a serious problem, they may turn into cancer! Because cases of rectal polyps turning into rectal cancer are not uncommon in clinical practice, patients with rectal polyps need to pay attention and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

3. Rectal polyps are not a serious disease, but they require surgical treatment to be cured. From a pathological point of view, their contents vary. Some are benign tumors, and some are the consequence of inflammatory hyperplasia. However, since they look roughly similar to the naked eye, the vague name "polyp" has been used throughout the ages. The rectum is a common site for polyps, and is given more attention because it is easy to detect and treat. In recent years, it is believed that colorectal cancer originates from polyps. Early removal of polyps can reduce the incidence of cancer. Therefore, polyps, as precancerous lesions, have received more attention.
