The clinical manifestations of colorectal polyps are very different, with some having obvious symptoms and others having no obvious symptoms. The severity of symptoms depends on the location of polyps in the large intestine, the number of polyps, the size of the form, the extent of colorectal involvement, the nature of the pathology and whether there is combined inflammation, ulceration and whether there is malignant transformation, etc. The most common clinical symptoms are blood in stool, diarrhea, prolapse and polyp syndrome. Therefore, in our daily life, we should pay attention to observe our stool, if there is, the above symptoms, should promptly go to the hospital for consultation. Through the physician’s examination and other clear diagnosis, exclude tumor diseases of the colon such as rectal cancer, smooth muscle tumor, inflammatory diseases such as radioactive proctitis, acute bacterial dysentery, amoebic dysentery, and other diseases such as hemorrhoids, anal papillary hypertrophy, rectal prolapse, anal fissure, etc., so as to strive for an early and clear diagnosis, early treatment and better results.
We know that colon polyp is a kind of benign tumor, so many patients take it lightly and do not go for timely examination, diagnosis and treatment, but let it go, but do not know that this is very unreliable and unscientific. According to the classification of histological manifestations and pathological nature, rectal and colonic polyps and polyposis can be divided into five categories: tumorigenic, malignant, inflammatory, proliferative and syndromic. Each category can be subdivided into solitary and multiple. Among them, adenomatous polyps, multiple polyposis (also known as familial polyposis, which is a familial genetic disease), papilloma, etc. have a higher possibility of evolving into cancer. Of course, there are some polyps that are not cancerous, such as childhood polyps and hyperplastic polyps. This requires us to go to the hospital for timely examination, and through the use of biopsy and pathological section, we can clarify the nature and diagnosis of polyps and take active and effective treatment, so as to avoid further evolution of polyps. Therefore, after suffering from colorectal polyps should be diagnosed and treated as early as possible to avoid leaving behind the aftermath and avoiding it from transforming into cancer and causing pain.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, rectal polyps are caused by heat toxicity, stagnation of blood and turbidity in the large intestine. Therefore, in our daily life, we should pay attention to dietary hygiene and diet structure to avoid the harm caused by improper diet or dietary preferences. So, how should we pay attention to our diet? First of all, we should eat less spicy and thick products, such as large spicy chili, mustard, alcoholic wine, etc. We should also avoid long-term preference for high-fat, high-protein meals. Because spicy things have a strong stimulating effect on the intestinal mucosa, so that the anorectal mucosa, skin congestion, thus inducing disease; and high fat, high protein and other fishy meat and alcoholic products such as long-term diet, can make the intestinal bile and anaerobic bacteria increase, high-fat diet by bacterial decomposition, can become unsaturated cholesterol, such as cholesterol and bile acids have induced the growth of polyps and carcinogenic effects. At the same time, pay attention to dietary hygiene, do not eat raw, unclean food, because there are often pathogenic bacteria and parasitic eggs on raw vegetables, such as roundworms, pinworm eggs, etc., which can lead to intestinal diseases. The incidence of rectal colon polyps is higher in places like coastal areas where there is a habit of eating raw fish than in other areas. Therefore, raw fish, raw crab, raw shrimp, etc., should never eat raw, not only difficult to digest, and easy to infectious diseases. In addition, some smoked and preserved products, such as salted fish, cured fish, cured meat, preserved products, etc. should also be eaten less to reduce nitrite into the digestive tract, thus causing colorectal lesions. In short, our diet should be light, not only to ensure adequate nutrition, but also to avoid the harm caused by dietary preferences. We should eat more vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables and plant fiber-rich foods such as beans and fruits, and not to be partial to the diet, so as to maintain a balanced nutrition in the body and avoid the occurrence of intestinal diseases.
Does the recovery of intestinal polyps hair after surgery Colorectal polyp patients are discharged from the hospital, is everything fine? Can colorectal polyps recur? This is a concern for many patients. Some polyps have the possibility of recurrence according to the histological performance and pathological nature, such as tubular adenoma, juvenile polyp, and villous adenoma. Therefore, after the surgery is healed and discharged from the hospital, on the one hand, we should avoid various triggering factors and improve the quality of life to avoid the regeneration of polyps; on the other hand, we should go to the hospital for regular checkups to rule out the recurrence of polyps through the use of examination by doctors. At the same time, we should follow the doctor’s instructions and make follow-up visits so that we can detect the problem in time and take treatment measures early. Generally speaking, after surgery, the recurrence rate of colorectal polyps is highest within 1 year, decreases later, and is rare after 5 years. Therefore, at least 5 years of follow-up visits and regular checkups are necessary, and we must not just leave it to chance.
How to prevent the formation of intestinal polyps We know that colorectal polyps are mostly due to over-eating spicy and thick, or long diarrhea, dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, dampness and heat, forced down the large intestine so that the intestinal Qi is not conducive to the meridian blockage, blood stasis and turbidity coalescence. Also can be due to chronic dysentery, ulcerative colorectitis, schistosomiasis, pinworm disease and other intestinal disease stimulation, as well as habitual constipation, because of the stool and fecal dryness, damage to the blood; or because of worm harassment, stimulation of the rectal mucosa and the onset. Therefore, in our daily life, we should try to avoid various triggering factors to reduce the incidence of the disease to a minimum and improve our quality of life. First of all, the prevention of polyps should pay attention to dietary hygiene, eat less spicy and alcoholic products, do not eat unclean things, do not eat cold products, prevent disease from the mouth to eliminate the source of disease. At the same time, regulate the qi, keep the stool smooth, timely cure constipation, diarrhea, dysentery, ulcerative colitis, ulcerative proctitis, schistosomiasis, pinworm disease and some other intestinal diseases, to avoid triggering factors. We should also pay attention to the prevention and propaganda of genetic diseases, strengthen the popular education of eugenics, improve the physical quality of the whole nation, and prevent the generation of diseases with certain genetic tendency such as familial adenomatous polyposis.
