Why gastric polyps can cause gastrointestinal bleeding

Gastric polyps may cause gastrointestinal bleeding due to spontaneous rupture of gastric polyps, inflammation of gastric mucosa, acid corrosion, etc.

1. Spontaneous rupture of gastric polyps The

surface tissue of gastric polyps may spontaneously rupture and bleed during the growth of gastric polyps, causing gastrointestinal bleeding.

2. Inflammation of gastric mucosa

Gastric polyps can continuously stimulate the gastric mucosa to cause inflammatory reactions in the stomach. Inflammatory factors can damage the blood vessels on the gastric mucosa, causing gastrointestinal bleeding.

3. Acid corrosion

Gastric polyps may lead to dysregulation of gastric acid secretion, causing excessive acid secretion and corrosion of the gastric wall, which may also lead to gastrointestinal bleeding.
