VerifiedPassionate about making a difference.
Gastric polyps are usually caused by drug factors, infection factors, bile reflux and other factors. Whether it will cause cancer or not needs to be judged according to specific circumstances.
1. Drug factors
If the patient takes pantoprazole, rabeprazole, esomeprazole and other drugs for a long time, the human body will be in a state of low acid, which will lead to an increase in the incidence of gastric polyps.
2. Infection factors
Helicobacter pylori infection will also cause gastric polyps, mainly due to long-term inflammation of the gastric mucosa.
3. Bile reflux
Bile reflux into the stomach will lead to inflammatory reactions in the gastric mucosa. Bile reflux will cause gastric polyps after destroying the acidic environment in the stomach.
Gastric polyps are benign lesions. If the patient is treated in a timely manner, a good prognosis can usually be obtained. However, if the patient continues to be untreated or belongs to adenomatous polyps, it has a certain tendency to cancer.
