Gastric polyps do enteroscopy, usually to rule out the existence of intestinal polyps at the same time.
Gastric polyps are formed by abnormal proliferation and differentiation of local gastric mucosal tissues. Once gastric polyps are present, some patients may also have intestinal polyps, and if symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and blood in the stool are present, it is necessary to perform a colonoscopy to detect the presence of intestinal polyps.
After the discovery of gastric polyps, it is necessary to perform a colonoscopy to observe what is going on in the intestines. If intestinal polyp tissue is present, it can be surgically removed under colonoscopy.
Gastric polyps such as adenomatous polyps and villous polyps will have a certain tendency to become malignant, which may affect your health. Early detection and early treatment will lead to a better prognosis. While examining and treating gastric polyps, colonoscopy can also be performed to rule out the possibility of intestinal polyps.
