Cardia polyps can be determined by gastroscopy, biopsy and histologic examination to determine their pathological type.
Usually cardia polyps originate from the mucosa of the cardia and can be induced by esophageal inflammation, chronic alcohol abuse, and dietary irregularities, etc. They are usually benign, but malignant changes are possible in some patients. Generally gastroscopy shows a round or oval bulge, regular shape, smooth surface, red color, and partially tipped. Biopsy and histologic examination under direct vision can also be used to understand the type of pathology.
Generally, patients with cardia polyps may have symptoms such as stomach pain and nausea after eating, and with the increase of polyps, symptoms of eating obstruction and choking may also occur.
It is recommended that patients with cardia polyps should actively seek medical attention to clarify their condition under the guidance of specialized physicians.
