Intestinal polyps are benign lesions with regular morphology and soft texture, which are difficult to distinguish from benign tumors. However, malignant tumors are irregular in shape and hard in texture, which can be distinguished from polyps.
In addition to colonoscopy, patients can also observe the morphology and structure of the diseased tissue under the microscope through pathological examination, which is helpful to diagnose the disease and take corresponding treatment measures.
