In recent years, the incidence of intestinal polyps has gradually increased, which has attracted widespread attention. Intestinal polyps are protruding tumor-like structures on the intestinal wall that are usually benign but have the potential to develop into malignancy. As for whether intestinal polyps need to be removed, doctors remind patients to go for an examination as soon as possible when the following three symptoms appear.
First, if a patient has symptoms of intestinal bleeding, such as blood in the stool or blood in the stool, then a high level of suspicion is required. Protruding parts of intestinal polyps are susceptible to friction or injury, leading to bleeding. Although most intestinal polyps bleed in small amounts and do not cause noticeable symptoms, if blood in or blood is present in the stool, prompt testing is required to rule out the possibility of malignancy.
Secondly, if the patient has symptoms of intestinal obstruction, such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, etc., it also needs to be taken seriously. The growth of intestinal polyps can block the intestines, preventing food and stool from passing through properly. At this time, the patient may experience abdominal pain, bloating, and difficulty defecation. If these symptoms persist, tests are needed to determine if the intestinal polyp needs to be removed.
Finally, if the patient has symptoms of intestinal infection, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, etc., it is also necessary to seek medical attention in time. Protruding parts of intestinal polyps are prone to bacterial growth, which can lead to infection. The infection can lead to inflammation of the intestines, with symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever. If these symptoms occur, tests are needed to determine whether the intestinal polyp needs to be removed and to do so.
In conclusion, the need for removal of intestinal polyps needs to be decided on a case-by-case basis. In general, if a patient has symptoms such as intestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, or intestinal infection, they need to be tested promptly, and based on the results of the examination, a decision is made on whether the intestinal polyp needs to be removed. In addition, regular colonoscopies are also recommended for high-risk groups, such as those with a family history of bowel cancer, for early detection and **intestinal polyps.
