The pressure of modern people is increasing, and more and more people unknowingly get involved with rectal polyps between their hurried steps. The presence of polyps in the rectum not only affects our health, but also poses a greater threat if these polyps become cancerous. Let’s get to know about rectal polyps. Rectal polyp is a kind of benign rectal tumor, is a mucous membrane covered swelling in the rectum, a small nodular mucous membrane bulge or a large mass with a tip, generally a single, a few for more than one, if many polyps gathered rectum or involved in the colon is called polyposis. Rectal polyps clinical manifestations are mostly asymptomatic, most of them are found during physical examination, common symptoms are bright red blood, blood is not much, mixed with mucus, blood is mostly on the surface of the stool, if the amount of bleeding, or bleeding for a long time, can cause wasting, anemia, polyps larger, there can also be symptoms such as urgency, constipation, more discharge from the anus. What are the hazards of rectal polyps? 1, prone to cancer: many patients with solitary polyps, initially do not pay attention to, is likely to multiple polyps transformation, and the chances of multiple polyps cancer is very high. 2, intestinal entrapment: sometimes larger polyps can also cause intestinal entrapment, resulting in intestinal obstruction and abdominal pain. 3.Prolapse: When the polyps are large or in large quantity, they pull the intestinal mucosa due to gravity, which gradually separates from the muscle layer and prolapses downward. The patient’s bowel movements pulling and intestinal peristaltic stimulation, can make the mucosal layer around the base relaxed, can be complicated by rectal prolapse. Rectal polyps in the hospital generally need to do three kinds of examination, which are: 1. Rectal finger examination: it is symptomatic of: polyps in the middle and lower rectum, rectal polyps with finger detection can be palpable soft, smooth, active nodules. In 70% of patients, a soft, pea-sized, round mass can be palpated on rectal examination, which can be moved without pressure pain. And the location of rectal polyps is higher or smaller polyps, rectal examination is not easy to find, need to do other auxiliary examination. 2, electronic anoscopy: more accurate diagnosis, hyperplastic polyps are more mounded raised nodules. Adenomatous polyps are round, with light red and shiny surface mucosa. Villi papillary adenomas are lobulated, cauliflower-like, and soft like large spongy polyps. Inflammatory polyps have long red tips. 3.If multiple polyps are found, do sigmoidoscopy or fiberscopy to exclude multiple polyps and colonic polyposis. Any polyps without tip and wide base should be regarded as precancerous lesions, and early pathological section examination should be done. Rectal polyps and normal diseases like the earlier treatment the better, otherwise it will aggravate the condition, so what are the treatment methods for rectal polyps? 1, electrocautery resection: polyp location is high, can not be removed from the anus, through the proctoscope, sigmoidoscopy or fiber colonoscopy to reveal polyps, tipped polyps with a trap set tip electrocautery removal. Electrocautery of wide based polyps is not safe. 2.Transcanal resection: It is suitable for polyps in the lower rectum. Under sacral anesthesia, after dilating the anus, the polyps are pulled out with tissue forceps. For benign polyps with tissues, the tissues are ligated and the polyps are removed; for broad-based polyps, part of the mucosa including the surrounding polyps should be removed and the wound is sutured; in case of villous adenoma, the incision line is not less than 1 cm from the adenoma margin as seen by the sarcoid eye. 3.Microsurgical resection under anoscope: It is suitable for local excision of adenoma and early rectal cancer in the upper rectum. After anesthesia, the anoscope for microsurgery is inserted transanally, and the polyps are removed microscopically by magnifying the surgical field through the TV screen. Compared with electrocautery resection, the advantage is that the wound can be sutured after resection, avoiding complications such as postoperative bleeding and perforation.
