Gastric polyps may recur after removal and need to be reviewed to prevent recurrence. And in order to prevent recurrence, it is necessary to pay attention to the risk factors affecting recurrence, such as diet, family history and so on.
Gastric polyps are localized benign elevated lesions of normal gastric mucosa with a smooth surface. Gastric polyps are commonly characterized as fundic glandular polyps, adenomatous polyps, hyperplastic polyps, and specific polyps, with hyperplastic polyps and adenomatous polyps being the most common.
Most of the polyps are hyperplastic polyps, and a few will become cancerous. Among them, adenomatous polyps account for about 10% to 25% of gastric polyps, with high cancer rate. They are often removed by endoscopic surgery.
The occurrence and development of gastric polyps are related to a variety of factors, such as Helicobacter pylori, alcohol and tobacco, gastritis, bile reflux and other diseases, and even after surgery, the polyps may still be affected by this and recur. Gastric polyps usually take 5 to 20 years to become cancerous, so regular checkups are key.
In addition, different patients have different individual differences, the review program will be different, how long after the polyp removal review and treatment, you should consult a professional doctor.
