The symptoms of rectal polyps depend on the size and location of the polyps, small rectal polyps generally have no obvious symptoms, while some larger polyps can cause corresponding intestinal symptoms. Small polyps generally do not affect the normal physiological function of the rectum and do not cause any obvious discomfort, while larger polyps can affect the normal physiological function of the rectum, mainly due to changes in stool habits, such as increased frequency of stool, constipation or alternating diarrhea and constipation, etc., and can also be manifested as mucus stool or mucus blood stool. Due to the disturbance of the excretory function of the stool, a few people may also show symptoms such as abdominal discomfort or abdominal pain. If the rectal polyp is large and too close to the anus, it may appear as a mass prolapsing from the anus. Since rectal polyps may become cancerous, once there is a change in stool habit or blood in the stool, you should be alert to the possibility of cancer. In conclusion, small rectal polyps usually have no obvious symptoms, but larger rectal polyps can affect the normal physiological function of the rectum, once there is a change in stool habits or blood in the stool, you should be alert to the possibility of cancer, early consultation, clear diagnosis and early removal.
