What does an anal polyp look like?

Anal polyps are round or oval meatballs located in the mucosa of the anal canal or rectum, which may protrude into the intestinal lumen. Anal polyps are round or oval meatballs with tips on the mucosa of the anal canal or rectum, which are light red in color, usually without pain or itching, and can be manifested as bleeding in defecation, acute and severe pain (discomfort in the lower abdomen, wanting to relieve stools, and feeling of incomplete defecation after defecation), abdominal pain and diarrhea, and other clinical symptoms. Clinically recommended use of surgical resection to cure, patients with the above symptoms, can go to the hospital anorectal examination, through the anoscopy to confirm the diagnosis of anal polyps, and then the development of surgical programs. For anal polyps with a diameter of less than 2cm, anoscopic polypectomy is mostly used now. Because polyps have the possibility of malignant transformation, once found, need to be actively treated, so for the treatment of anal polyps are recommended as early as possible surgery, after surgery to give pathological examination.
