What causes gastric polyps?

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

1. Helicobacter pylori infection

causes gastric mucosal inflammation, long-term inflammatory stimulation leads to epithelial cell proliferation, forming gastric polyps.

2. Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors

can inhibit gastric acid secretion, causing gastrinemia, hypogastric acid, thus inducing gastric polyps.

3. Bile reflux

Bile reflux into the stomach causes gastric mucosal inflammation, while a large amount of bile can also destroy the acidic environment in the stomach, leading to gastric polyps.
