What does rectal polyp disease mean?

Rectal polyps are raised lesions on the surface of the rectal mucosa, that is, rectal polyps.

The cause of rectal polyps has not yet been determined. It may be due to long-term chronic inflammation stimulation, resulting in the formation of abnormal hyperplasia of the rectal mucosa. In addition, the occurrence of rectal polyps may also be related to genetic factors, poor eating habits and other factors. If the polyp size is small, most patients will not appear obvious discomfort, only found in colonoscopy. But if the polyp size is large, there may be hematochezia, polyp prolapse, tenesmus and other symptoms.
