Can I have a stomach polyp without surgery?

The need for surgery for gastric polyps is related to the nature of their pathology. If they are benign, they can be removed without surgery, but if they are malignant, they need to be operated on. 1. If the polyp is benign in nature, it can be removed without surgery, simply by cutting it off endoscopically. Benign polyps do not have obvious symptoms, but there is a high chance of recurrence, which requires regular endoscopy and treatment. 2. Some polyps are malignant after pathologic biopsy, which requires high attention and may have a tendency to become cancerous, in which case they need to be surgically removed. Usually, the prognosis of polyp removal is better and the chance of recurrence is smaller. If the patient has gastric polyps, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, consult with the relevant doctors, and choose the appropriate treatment under the judgment of the doctor.
