Anorectal polyps

Introduction to anorectal polyps Anorectal polyps are a general term for colon and rectal bulging lesions based on palpation, colonoscopy, or X-ray barium enema examination. Colorectal polyps have different clinical manifestations. There are no symptoms in the early stage. The general clinical manifestations may include abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in the stool, mucus in the stool, or accompanied by urgency. basic knowledge The proportion of sickness: 0.01% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: blood in the stool

Anorectal polyps

Genetic factors (25%):

It is generally believed that the formation of colon polyps is closely related to genetic mutations and genetic factors. From the current research, it is shown that the mutated genes can be inherited by the parents to the children of the offspring. The male and female are equal in genetic opportunities, and there is no gender difference.

Inflammatory stimuli (14%):

The intestinal mucosa is stimulated by inflammation for a long time, which can cause polyps in the intestinal mucosa. This is due to inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, congestion and edema, after the erosion of the ulcer, the scar gradually shrinks, forming a polypoid, and due to chronic inflammation, causing gland obstruction, mucus retention and disease.

Feces, foreign body irritation and mechanical damage (15%):

Fecal coarse residue and foreign body long-term stimulation of intestinal mucosal epithelium, and other causes of rectal mucosal damage, resulting in abnormal proliferation of cells, the formation of polyps.

Living habits (14%):

Poor living habits, irregular life, can also lead to acidification of body fluids, causing intestinal cell mutations, hyperplasia and so on.

Dietary factors (12%):

Dietary factors have a relationship with the formation of colon polyps, especially bacterial and bile acid interactions, which may be the basis for the formation of adenomatous polyps.

Anorectal polyps prevention

1. Develop good habits, stop smoking and limit alcohol

2, diet Note: Do not eat too much salty and spicy food, do not eat food that is too hot, too cold, expired and deteriorated; old and frail or have some disease genetics, eat some cancer foods and alkalis as appropriate A high amount of alkaline foods maintain a good mental state.

3, maintain a good attitude: have a good attitude to deal with stress, work and rest, do not fatigue.

4, adhere to physical exercise: strengthen physical exercise, enhance physical fitness, more exercise in the sun, more sweat can excrete acidic substances in the body with sweat to avoid the formation of acidic physique.

5, food hygiene: Do not eat contaminated food, such as contaminated water, crops, poultry fish eggs, moldy food, etc., to eat some green organic food, to prevent disease from the mouth.

Anorectal polyp complications Complications

Easy to concurrent with a large number of blood in the stool, intestinal stenosis, intestinal perforation, toxic bowel dilatation and so on.

Anorectal polyps symptoms Common symptoms Diarrhea, blood in rectal prolapse, lower abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, swelling, and urgency

The symptoms of anorectal polyps are blood in the stool, prolapse, and irritation of the intestines.

(1) Blood in the stool: Painless blood in the stool is the main clinical manifestation of rectal polyps. The amount of blood in the stool of the anorectal polyps is less. If the polyps fall off due to squeezing during defecation, and the polyps are at a lower volume, a larger amount of blood in the stool may occur. The blood in the stool is characterized by blood, without bleeding.

(2) Prolapse: When the polyps are large or large, the intestinal mucosa is pulled due to gravity, so that it gradually separates from the muscular layer and prolapses downward. The patient's defecation action pull and intestinal peristalsis stimulation can relax the mucosal layer around the pedicle, and can also cause rectal prolapse.

(3) Intestinal irritation symptoms: When the intestinal peristalsis is pulling the polyps, intestinal irritation may occur, such as abdominal discomfort, lower abdominal pain, diarrhea, pus and bloody stools, and urgency.

Anorectal polyps

Most polyps are hidden and the symptoms are not obvious. If the polyps in an organ are preferred for endoscopy, such as colonoscopy, hysteroscopy, etc., you can choose color ultrasound, CT, etc.

Diagnosis and diagnosis of anorectal polyps

It should be differentiated from diseases such as internal hemorrhoids, colon cancer, rectal cancer, duodenal ulcer and anal fistula.
