Does polyp grow in the stomach cut still grow?
summary
Gastrointestinal polyps are localized lesions protruding from the gastrointestinal mucosa and protruding into the gastrointestinal cavity. According to the different parts of the digestive tract, polyps are called esophageal polyps, gastric polyps, small intestine polyps, large intestine (colon and rectum) polyps, among which gastric polyps and large intestine polyps are the most common. Polyps are mostly single, multiple accounted for about 20%, a small number of patients with a large number of gastrointestinal polyps, known as gastrointestinal polyps syndrome.. Let's share my experience with you.
Does polyp grow in the stomach cut still grow?
As a common disease of digestive tract, gastrointestinal polyps usually have no obvious symptoms in the early stage. But later, gastric polyps may appear hiccups, epigastric pain, acid reflux, nausea, hematemesis, melena and other symptoms; Intestinal polyps will appear diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, bowel sounds, bloody stool and other symptoms. Gastrointestinal polyps can be diagnosed by gastroscopy and colonoscopy. In fact, many patients with polyps because of gastrointestinal discomfort to the hospital examination, or in physical examination only found long polyps.
We are very concerned about whether polyps will become cancerous. The reason why we advocate that polyps should be removed regardless of their size and number is that apart from the above series of gastrointestinal discomfort caused by growing polyps, the key point is to worry about their canceration. According to the histological characteristics, polyps can be divided into four types: adenomatous polyps, hamartomatous polyps, inflammatory polyps and proliferative polyps.
Among them, inflammatory polyps and intestinal inflammation, growth is very slow, basic will not cancerous. Adenomatous polyps can be divided into adenotubular adenoma, villous adenoma and villous adenotubular adenoma. Studies have shown that the canceration rate of adenomatous polyps is 5% - 40%; The canceration rate of villous adenoma was the highest (25% - 72%); The canceration rate of hamartomatous polyps and proliferative polyps is very low. In addition, the larger the polyp, the more the number, the greater the probability of canceration.
matters needing attention
As the growth of gastrointestinal polyps is not completely clear, it may be related to chronic inflammation, constipation, mechanical stimulation and love to eat meat. Therefore, a light diet, eating more vegetables and fruits, eating less meat and seafood, developing a good habit of defecation, eating less spicy food and drinking less alcohol can help to prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal polyps. People over 40 years old, who have ever found gastrointestinal polyps, who have chronic gastroenteritis and recurrent attacks, and who have family history of gastrointestinal polyps, need regular gastrointestinal endoscopy for timely detection and treatment.
