Sigmoid hyperplastic polyps are lesions that protrude from the mucosal surface of the sigmoid colon into the intestinal lumen, often manifested by blood in the stool, intestinal irritation, etc. They are currently treated by endoscopic or laparoscopic surgical resection.
Sigmoid hyperplastic polyps are mostly adenomas, and those with a diameter larger than 2 cm may become cancerous. Sigmoid polyps generally have no obvious clinical symptoms and are often found when complications arise. There may be diarrhea, increased frequency of bowel movements, mucous, pus and blood stools, and sometimes intestinal obstruction.
Treatment of sigmoid hyperplastic polyps: endoscopic removal if there is a tip; the diameter is larger than 2 centimeters may be cancerous, laparoscopic or open surgical resection; also can be transanal or anoscopic surgical resection.
Patients should go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible when they find sigmoid colon polyp hyperplasia.
