What is the cause of gastric polyps?

Moderate intestinal metaplasia refers to moderate intestinal metaplasia. Gastric polyps with moderate intestinal metaplasia may be related to bile reflux, Helicobacter pylori infection, poor eating habits, etc.

1. Bile reflux

Bile reflux can destroy the acidic environment in the stomach, causing inflammatory reactions in the gastric mucosa, thus forming polyps, and can also damage the gastric mucosa. In the past, it can lead to mucosal hyperplasia abnormalities, manifested as intestinal metaplasia.

2. Helicobacter pylori infection

is a common gastric bacteria. Long-term infection may cause chronic gastritis, increase the risk of gastric polyps, and can also cause gastric mucosal damage, prone to intestinal metaplasia.

3. Bad eating habits

Unhealthy eating habits, such as high salt, high fat, high sugar diet, may increase the risk of gastric polyps, but also increase the probability of gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia.
