What is esophageal polyps?

The cause of esophageal polyps is not clear for the time being. It is considered to be related to age factors, improper diet, chronic inflammation of the esophagus and other reasons.

1. Age factors

Esophageal polyps are generally seen in elderly men. Therefore, the occurrence of esophageal polyps may be related to age.

2.

Eating spicy, raw and cold irritating foods for a long time will also repeatedly stimulate or damage the esophageal mucosa and induce esophageal polyps.
