A polyp in the descending duodenum
is a polyp on the wall of the intestine that points to the descending duodenum. In most cases, a polyp in the descending duodenum is benign, especially in small numbers and sizes. It usually does not cause significant discomfort and is usually not serious. However, if a polyp in the descending duodenum is large, it may cause stenosis or obstruction of the intestinal lumen and cause related symptoms such as abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea, etc. In addition, if multiple polyps are present in the descending duodenum, they may increase the severity of related symptoms, which are generally more severe.
