Are intestinal polyps prone to recurrence after removal

Intestinal polyps may recur after removal. There is a possibility of recurrence after the removal of intestinal polyps, generally inflammatory polyps have a small chance of recurrence, while adenomatous polyps have a tendency to malignant changes, and the chance of recurrence after local excision is higher. Intestinal polyp is the abnormal growth of the intestinal mucosal surface, divided into inflammatory and adenomatous. 1. Inflammatory polyps are epithelial hyperplasia caused by long-term stimulation of inflammatory reactions, and require surgical resection when larger, with a small possibility of recurrence. 2. Adenomatous polyps have the tendency of malignant transformation, and need to be sent for pathological examination after resection. If the condition is serious, radiotherapy or chemotherapy should also be considered to prevent recurrence. After the resection of intestinal polyps, patients are advised to go to the hospital regularly for rechecking, usually pay attention to go to bed early and get up early, eat a light diet, and do proper exercise to increase resistance.
