Bowel polyps that develop ulcers may be at risk of bleeding.
When intestinal polyps are large, due to fecal pressure or irritation, it may lead to erosion or ulceration of the mucosa on the surface of the polyp, which in turn may lead to rupture of the submucosal blood vessels and bleeding. Due to long-term chronic bleeding or gradual aggravation, anemia such as pale skin and mucous membrane and wasting may occur. Severe patients may have anemic heart disease, shock and other phenomena, some of which are life-threatening.
Intestinal polyp ulceration, such as the appearance of obvious bleeding symptoms, generally no special drug treatment, need to carry out surgical treatment to alleviate the symptoms, such as endoscopic polyp removal, endoscopic mucosal resection and so on.
In daily life, patients with intestinal polyps should correct bad living and eating habits, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, high fat diet and high intake of red meat. It is necessary to avoid spicy and irritating food, and keep the bowels unobstructed and so on.
It is recommended that patients with intestinal polyp ulceration accompanied by bleeding, go to the regular hospital in a timely manner, follow the doctor’s instructions for the relevant treatment, to avoid delaying the condition.
