What’s wrong with pediatric polyps?

Polyps are a common pediatric condition that can occur anywhere in the digestive tract, but rectal and colonic polyps are the most common. What causes polyps Although the exact cause of polyps is not fully understood, it is currently considered that inflammatory changes in the rectum and colon caused by certain factors such as dysentery, enteritis, parasites, etc. are one of the most important causes of polyps. In addition, such as constipation, feces containing rough material on the local long-term stimulation caused by hyperplasia to form polyps, with intestinal peristalsis, polyps attached to the intestinal mucosa is gradually elongated to form polyp tip. Pediatric polyps often have the performance of 1, painless blood in the stool. Fresh blood covers the surface of the stool or drips out when defecation is about to end. The amount of bleeding is usually small. Occasionally, a groove stained with blood can be seen on the surface of the molded stool. Polyp prolapse outside the anus. When the tip of the polyp is long, it may prolapse out of the anus after straining, and then retract after defecation. 3.Blood in the stool after polyp detachment. Individuals of children due to a large amount of blood in the stool to consult the doctor. 4.A few children may have anemia due to long-term blood in stool. Most low polyps can be detected early by rectal examination alone. For high-grade polyps, colonoscopy is the ideal diagnostic tool. Pediatric polyps can remain in the body for long periods of time. This is especially true if the polyp is small and in a high site. Many polyps, especially juvenile polyps, are self-limiting. Pediatric polyps are rarely cancerous, and removal has little chance of recurrence. How pediatric polyps should be treated Pediatric rectal polyps are treated differently from adults in that not all polyps need to be removed immediately. Because most pediatric polyps are juvenile polyps, lymphatic polyps and inflammatory polyps, adenomas are rare, and therefore malignancy is less likely to occur. For bleeding is not serious, no anemia and abdominal pain, intussusception and other manifestations, can be observed and wait, part of the juvenile polyps can fall off and heal themselves. Clinically used several treatment methods 1, manual removal, this method is simple and fast, applicable to finger test can be touched by the tip of the polyp. With the end of the index finger to construct the polyp tip, and push it to the low sacral surface and break the polyp tip, and then follow the trend to remove the polyp tip out of the anus, generally do not have to stop the bleeding. The polyp should be checked for integrity and observed in the outpatient clinic for 1 h. If there is bleeding, it can be compressed with epinephrine cotton balls or hemostatic powder. Some low long tip polyps, can be hooked out of the anus with a finger, can be under the visualization of clamping, ligating the tip after resection is safer. 2.Treated by sigmoidoscopy, in the sigmoidoscopy can detect the scope of the tip polyps can be used to remove the trap device electrocautery. 3.Treated by fiberoptic colonoscopy, high colon polyps can be microscopic electrocautery treatment. 4, with the above methods can not be removed, and there is severe anemia or recurrent intussusception can be dissected for manipulation, incision of the intestinal wall to remove. In general, caesarean section is not considered.
