Symptoms of colorectal polyps and polyposis

  1, what are the symptoms and characteristics of colorectal polyps?  The clinical manifestations of colorectal polyps are very different, some have obvious symptoms, while others have 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 a combination of inflammation, ulcers and the presence of malignant changes, etc. The most common clinical symptoms are blood in the stool, diarrhea, prolapse and polyp syndrome. Therefore, we should pay attention to our stool in our daily life, and if there are any of the above symptoms, we should go to the hospital in time. 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 early diagnosis, early treatment, and obtain better results.  2.Will colorectal polyps become cancerous?  As we know, colorectal polyp is a kind of benign tumor, so many patients take it lightly and do not go for timely examination, diagnosis and treatment, just let it happen, 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, a familial genetic disease) and papilloma are more likely to evolve 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, the doctor 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.  3.How should polyp patients pay attention to diet?  We know that, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, rectal polyps are caused by heat toxicity forced down the large intestine, stagnation of blood and turbidity blockage. Therefore, in our daily life, we should pay attention to dietary hygiene and diet structure to avoid 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 mellow products, such as large spicy chili peppers, 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 raw vegetables often have pathogenic bacteria and parasitic eggs, such as roundworms, pinworm eggs, etc., which lead to the occurrence of 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, in order to reduce nitrite into the digestive tract, thus causing colorectal lesions. In short, our diet should be light, both to ensure adequate nutrition, but also to avoid the harm caused by dietary preferences. Eat more vitamin-rich fruits, vegetables and plant fiber-rich foods such as beans, fruits, etc., and do not be partial to the diet, so as to maintain the body’s nutritional balance and avoid intestinal diseases.  4.What should patients with colorectal polyps pay attention to after surgery?  If you suffer from colorectal polyps and undergo common colorectal polyp surgery, then the post-operative recuperation and health care becomes one of the keys to the success of the surgery, which is related to whether the post-operative recovery can be smooth. So, what should we pay attention to? First of all, we should pay attention to diet, avoid eating spicy and stimulating products, such as chili, garlic, ginger, mustard, alcoholic wine, etc. Eat more fruits and vegetables, bananas, pears, watermelon, apples, etc. are better; drink more soups, such as vegetarian meat soup, silver ear soup, corn porridge, etc. This can keep the stool smooth, to avoid dry stool difficult to solve, the toilet to struggle and induce bleeding. At the same time, also pay attention to rest, because most of the colon, rectal polyp patients by anal surgery, after surgery are no obvious symptoms of discomfort, so often ignore their condition, and therefore paralyzed, and normal people to work, life, and even dry heavy labor. We believe that this is a certain danger. Because the surgery of colorectal polyps are carried out on the mucosa of the colon and rectum, and the repair of the mucosa takes some time, and at this time the patient may not have any discomfort, if you do not pay attention and engage in strenuous activities, it may cause bleeding of the mucosa, thus affecting their repair. We also need to maintain a relaxed mood, read books and newspapers, listen to music, etc., which will help the recovery of the disease. In addition, we should also pay attention to warmth, avoid cold, do not eat cold food, so as not to cause diarrhea, the number of stools increased, thus affecting the healing of the wound.  5, colorectal polyps after surgery will recur?  Colorectal polyp patients are discharged from the hospital after surgery, is not everything is fine? Colorectal polyps will not recur? This is a concern for many patients. Some polyps have the possibility of recurrence according to the histological manifestation 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 means by doctors. At the same time, it is important to follow up on medical advice, so that problems can be detected in time and treatment measures can be taken 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 review visits, regular checkups are necessary, we must not just let it happen.  6.How to prevent the formation of colorectal polyps?  We know that the colorectal polyps are 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 gas is not conducive to the meridian blockage, blood stasis and turbidity coalescence. Can also be due to chronic dysentery, ulcerative colorectitis, schistosomiasis, pinworm disease and other intestinal diseases, as well as habitual constipation, because of the stool and fecal dryness, damage to the blood; or because of the harassment of worms, stimulating 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, strictly prevent the 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. Also pay attention to the prevention and propaganda of genetic diseases, strengthen the popular education of eugenics, improve the physical quality of the entire nation, to prevent diseases such as familial adenomatous polyposis, which have a certain genetic tendency.  7.How to do enema treatment at home for colorectal polyp patients?  Retained enema treatment of anorectal diseases is a kind of external treatment of anorectal diseases, is commonly used in various medical units, and the majority of patients are familiar with and happy to accept a treatment method. This method is reliable, easy to use, and suitable for home use.
