About units

Rectal polyps are benign growths that develop on the inside of the rectum. By themselves, these neoplasms are not dangerous, one of them should be removed for several reasons:

  • large polyps can be damaged and cause bleeding, one of the most serious consequences of which can be peritonitis, inflammation of the peritoneum;
  • polyps quite often degenerate into malignant neoplasms.

Symptoms and causes

Polyps are caused by the proliferation of healthy tissue. It is in the rectum, a reservoir for feces, that such an overgrowth occurs extremely often. If there is a tendency to tissue overgrowth, then there is a risk of developing intestinal cancer since healthy and damaged cells can grow.

Polyposis is associated with hereditary factors and an unbalanced diet: overeating, abuse of spicy, fatty, and smoked foods, fast food, alcohol. Also, an important role in the occurrence of polyps is played by a sedentary lifestyle, chronic digestive problems, and inflammatory intestinal diseases such as colitis, enterocolitis, enteritis.

The following symptoms may indicate polyps in the rectum:

  • pain in the abdomen and during bowel movements;
  • secretion of blood and mucus during bowel emptying;
  • feeling of fullness of the intestines after emptying;
  • black feces (a sign of the presence of blood in the stool);
  • anal itching;
  • indigestion.

Giant polyps can cause mucosal prolapse, anal fissures. Symptoms may be similar to those of acute hemorrhoids, but only a doctor can make a correct diagnosis.

One of the consequences of intestinal polyps is anemia. Due to chronic blood loss, a general blood test indicates low hemoglobin titers, a person complains of increased fatigue, weakness, palpitations, dizziness, and insomnia. Often, the cause of the anemia that is due to intestinal polyps is very difficult to establish. This requires a complete examination of the body, including specific diagnostics: colonoscopy or rectoscopy.

Surgery to remove polyps from the rectum is called a polypectomy.

How is the operation going?

At Healthy&Happy Medical Centers, polypectomy is performed during an endoscopic colonoscopy. Polyps over 2 mm in diameter, multiple polyps (5 or more), and villous polyps are shown to be mandatory for removal. Endoscopic polypectomy is a modern method of surgical intervention, which differs from traditional abdominal surgery in a short rehabilitation period and low traumas.

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 20 minutes. The patient recovers from surgery usually 1 to 2 days. After 2 days, the patient can continue a normal life. Full recovery after polypectomy is 2 weeks to 2 months and depends on the surgical treatment method applied in the clinic.

During the recovery period after surgery, the patient must follow a diet that consists in excluding fatty, spicy, salty, and fried foods. The diet should be dominated by low-fat dairy products, cereals, steamed cutlets, stewed vegetables, and fish. The diet must be followed until the bowel function is fully restored after surgery.

Intestinal Cancer Prevention

The patients after polypectomy are at risk of developing rectal cancer, therefore, they should undergo a colonoscopy annually to prevent the development of colorectal cancer.

Also, persons over 45 years old, for early detection of precancerous conditions and rectal polyps, even in the absence of symptoms, must visit a proctologist and undergo the necessary diagnostic procedures at least once a year.
