What to do about polyps of the transverse colon

Polyps of the transverse colon are polyps with lesions located in the transverse colon, and treatment is mainly surgical. The specific treatment plan can be decided according to the size, number, complication and pathological nature of the polyp. 1. Surgical treatment: If the polyp is smaller than two centimeters, we can consider electrocoagulation and electrocutaneous resection of the polyp under the condition of enteroscopy. The polyps under the resection must be pathologically examined. If the polyp is large, or has the possibility of malignant disease, it needs to be excised, and if necessary, the nearby lymph nodes should be cleared. If the polyp of transverse colon complicates intussusception, partial intestinal resection can be performed. 2. General treatment: If it is inflammatory polyp or hyperplastic polyp, it is mainly to improve the living habits without surgical treatment, such as increasing the intake of fiber, reducing the intake of fatty foods, etc., and also need to increase the physical exercise, which can help to improve the symptoms. 3. Medication: For patients with bleeding polyps in the transverse colon, Yunnan Baiyao and other medications can be taken; if accompanied by intestinal flora dysbiosis, Lactasexant tablets, Bacillus licheniformis capsules and other medications can be taken. The incidence of transverse colon polyps is high, and a healthy lifestyle and reasonable diet should be adopted in daily life. When polyps are detected, treatment should be carried out according to the doctor’s instructions to avoid delaying the condition, and regular review.
