Most patients with intestinal polyps have no obvious symptoms. In severe cases, there are changes in bowel habits and stool properties, accompanied by abdominal pain and diarrhea. Giant polyps may cause symptoms of intestinal obstruction. Bowel polyps occur most commonly in the colorectum. Patients with solitary intestinal polyps or smaller multiple intestinal polyps have no symptoms in most cases and are often found during colonoscopy. When intestinal polyps are large and numerous, they pull and irritate the surrounding intestinal mucosa under the effect of gravity, which can easily cause changes in bowel habits and fecal character. Patients may experience abdominal pain, increased frequency of bowel movements, and thinner or even unshaped stools. When the polyp breaks down or becomes cancerous, it may also lead to bloody stools. Large intestinal polyps may also cause intestinal obstruction symptoms, such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and stopping anal defecation. Intestinal polyps need to be analyzed and treated according to the specific condition. Generally speaking, small polyps can be followed up and observed on a regular basis, while larger polyps are recommended to be resected by endoscopic surgery, and when endoscopic resection is not possible, open surgery should be performed to resect the intestinal segments. In summary, you can’t rely solely on symptoms to determine whether you have intestinal polyps. When abdominal pain, diarrhea, and change of stool characteristics occur, enteroscopy can be used to determine whether there are polyps.
