My name is "polyps" and it is easy to become cancer!

*For medical professionals for reading reference

A confession from polyps.

My name is polyps. In fact, I am an extra "meat", or the fell "meat". To the uterus and bladder, I like to grow.

The doctor named us according to the parts we grew up, such as "nasal polyps", "stomach polyps", "rectal polyps", "bladder polyps" and so on. If there are two or more polyps in a certain part, it is called "multiple polyps".

I look very slowly and hide it deeply

Generally speaking, my growth rate is relatively slow and hidden, and I will not expose myself easily.

Among them, the most easily exposed is the vocal cord polyps. It is as small as a sesame or mung bean that makes people hoarse in size and is found out early;

The polyps in the nasal cavity have symptoms such as nasal congestion and nasal crickets when the pea grows.

Children's rectal polyps, because of the susceptibility to break out from the anus, reveal "horse feet";

The polyps on the stomach can grow a lot and have no feelings;

The most insidious is large intestine polyps, which are often distributed, and they usually grow up. By then, "shake the body" can become colon cancer, but my surface is fragile and easy to bleed. The patient will see a doctor when he finds blood. Can't hide it anymore, but the patient's condition is often not mild.

So don't think of me until I have symptoms!

I am really a close relative of cancer

You see, I have a lot of trouble. This is nothing. What people are most afraid of is my cancer, because the cancer is sneaky. Once the symptoms are found, it is likely to have advanced cancer and have extensive metastasis. At this time, the doctor has no control to me. It's right.

Saying that I am a close relative of cancer, it is just right.

But all our family members will not turn cancer. I can reveal some mysteries to you here. For example, 95%of colorectal cancer is what we grow up!

Not every polyp will be cancerous

After all, the vicious one accounts for very few, and the vast majority of benign. Generally, it will not cause a threat to life. Even if the cancer is cancer, it will take a long time.

1. In the short term, the fast -growing polyps are often fierce and less auspicious. They should be alert to their cancer, especially polyps with a diameter of greater than 2 cm.

2. Histores are pronounced polyps that are susceptible to cancer, while inflammation is less evil;

3. The smaller volume, the polyps with pirates are mostly benign, and it is not easy to cancer. Patients do not have to be nervous and afraid. But the broad -foundation polyps are often difficult to be safe and easy to cancer.

4. Some hereditary polyps, such as family colon polyps, are prone to cancer;

5. The probability of multi -polypatocus cancer increases. For example, the cancerous rate of a polyp is 1 %, so if you grow 100 polyps, the cancer may be close to 100 %.

Actually I am most afraid of you to check

Since people know that we have climbed "relatives" with cancer, people's alertness to our polyps has become higher and higher. Peeping our existence and treating us as a pre -cancer lesion to deal with it in time, making the opportunity to threaten patients' lives less and less.

It takes 5-15 years to become cancer. During this time, if you can find me and remove me, I will never have the opportunity to cancer.

About you after you are 40 years old, I may grow cancer, so you have to discover me before I grow up and do a check before the age of 40.

In such a long time, you will not find me, so I can smoothly grow into a cancer tumor.

I'm very simple to remove

Since I have climbed "relatives" with cancer, then you can't wait to look at it. You should treat me as a pre -cancer disease. You should surgery in time to avoid "night long dreams" and develop into cancer.

With the development of medical technology, it can be cut with a trap under the endoscope, or treated with electricity and laser. The safety, effectiveness, and patient pain are small. They no longer need to be cut, caesarean section, or even hospitalized.

However, for those with a wide range and large volume, it is difficult to remove under the endoscope. Surgical treatment is still needed to exchange for "long -term stability" with "temporary suffering".

I will be resurrected, you have to review regularly

My vitality is extremely strong. Although you have removed me, your living habits have not changed, your body environment has not changed, and the soil that is suitable for me is still there.

So, even if you cut me, you need to review it regularly:

Take the intestinal polyps as an example:

Clinically, the review time is usually determined according to colonoscopic medical examination results, removal integrity, intestinal preparation, health status, polyps family history, and past medical history;

For low -mid -risk polyps after review, it is shorter than Europe and the United States. It is recommended to be within 1 to 3 years;

When there is the following situations, it is recommended to review the colonoscopy in the short term to June:

(1) The intestinal preparation is not good, and the high -quality intestinal preparation cannot be achieved;

(2) Inspection of colonoscopy failed to reach the backbone and failed to complete the inspection;

(3) Before the colon cancer, the intestinal tube was not checked due to narrowing of the intestinal tube;

(4) The total number of polyps is removed at a time;

(5) Given more than 1 cm wide -based polyps with sliced ​​resection;

(6) greater than 1 CM fluffy polypatocytes with severe heteroid hyperplasia; (7) When polyps have not reached the lower mucosa or exceed the mucosa, they are unwilling to add surgical removal.
