What does intestinal adenoma mean?

Intestinal adenoma is a kind of neoplastic polyp growing in the intestinal tract, which is generally a benign manifestation of polyps formed by the proliferation of intestinal mucosal epithelium.
When intestinal adenoma is small, patients often do not have obvious clinical symptoms, and the morbidity rate is relatively high. With the further growth of intestinal adenoma, the enlargement may have a change in bowel habit, abdominal discomfort, change in stool properties, and even blood in the stool in serious patients, which should be given timely diagnosis and examination.
When intestinal adenoma is found under enteroscopy, it is necessary to observe the growth of the adenoma, assess the color, size, etc. If necessary, it is necessary to send biopsy to determine the benign or malignant degree of intestinal adenoma according to pathological examination, and it is possible to take microscopic resection, choose endoscopic mucosal stripping, endoscopic high-frequency coagulation laparotomy.
For patients with intestinal adenoma, it is recommended to consult the gastroenterology department or general surgery department of regular hospitals for treatment.
