What causes stomach polyps?

Gastric polyps are considered to be caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, long-term use of proton pump inhibitors, bile reflux and other factors.

1. Helicobacter pylori infection

Long-term infection of Helicobacter pylori can lead to inflammation of gastric mucosa, resulting in excessive proliferation of gastric epithelial cells, thus forming gastric polyps.

2. Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors

has the effect of inhibiting gastric acid secretion. Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors can cause the body to be in a state of low gastric acid, which can cause gastric polyps.

3. Bile reflux

Bile reflux into the stomach can cause inflammatory reaction of gastric mucosa, which can destroy the acidic environment in the stomach and form gastric polyps.
