The difference between hemorrhoids and polyps is that the formation of different causes, different clinical manifestations, different disease regression. 1. Formation causes: hemorrhoids are divided into internal hemorrhoids and external hemorrhoids, internal hemorrhoids is the soft tissue around the anal canal, that is, the anal cushion downward formation, and external hemorrhoids is the dentate line below the anal canal submucosal venous plexus tortuous expansion formation. The reasons for the formation of polyps are complex and varied, including inflammatory stimulation, genetic mutation, family inheritance, intestinal mucosal hyperplasia. 2. Clinical manifestations: internal hemorrhoids are mainly manifested as fresh blood after stool, sometimes seen in the anus soft tissue swelling out, most patients have no obvious pain. External hemorrhoid patients can be manifested as anal discomfort, itching, moisture, etc., when there is acute thrombosis can have severe pain. Most patients with intestinal polyps have no obvious symptoms, or only show abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension and other non-specific manifestations. Many patients are found to have polyps during colonoscopy. 3. Disease regression: hemorrhoids is a benign disease, the vast majority of no cancerous tendency, but the long-term recurrence of symptoms will seriously affect the normal life of patients. Some intestinal polyps have a tendency to become cancerous, especially adenomatous polyps, familial polyposis, etc., patients often have no obvious symptoms for a long time until the development of malignant tumors.
