gastric polyps refers to a protruding lesions that occur in the gastric mucosa. It is divided into four categories: fundus gland polyps, inflammatory polyps, hyperplastic polyps and adenomatous polyps according to different pathological properties. The pathogenesis of gastric polyps is not yet fully understood. Most patients with gastric polyps do not have obvious clinical symptoms, which are more common than those found during routine gastroscopy. Whether it is for patients with adenomatous polyps in the stomach, larger hyperplastic polyps and inflammatory polyps, or patients with smaller hyperplastic polyps, or patients with fundus polyps and inflammatory polyps, timely treatment is recommended, and regular gastroscopy review and follow-up observation is carried out.
1. After cutting gastric polyps for so many years, do you understand the purpose of resection?
Most gastric polyps are not tumors, and they do not even have the potential to become tumors. Many people think that they have a tumor after being found, and they must be removed immediately and do not dare to delay for a day. In order to increase income, some medical institutions will also over-inflict the harm of gastric polyps. Overtreatment of gastric polyps is therefore very common. In fact, most gastric polyps are proliferative. The cell density in this type of gastric polyps is higher than that of the surrounding normal gastric mucosa and grows slightly faster, so it highlights the surface of the mucosa.
There are also some small tumor polyps in the stomach polyps, called gastric adenomas. If it is to prevent gastric cancer removal of gastric polyps, only such polyps should be removed. However, overall, most of the gastric polyps are proliferative polyps, accounting for about three-quarters, and gastric adenomas are much less than 10%. Therefore, for the purpose of preventing cancer, only a small number of polyps need to be removed. In addition, surgery only targets the surface polyps and cannot remove the lesions that cause polyps, so the recurrence rate of gastric polyps remains high.
2. Methods for preventing recurrence without surgery:
gastric polyps belong to the " epigastric pain " in traditional Chinese medicine, " fullness "; if there is bleeding, it belongs to the category of " blood syndrome ". However, "Lingshu·Shuipan" once mentioned: "Cold air is in the intestines, fighting with the Wei qi, and the qi cannot be prosperous. Because of the connection, it is obsessed with it, and evil qi rises, and polyps are born." It is believed that the cause and pathogenesis of gastrointestinal polyps are caused by cold air, and the qi and blood are congested. After the patient is diagnosed with gastrointestinal polyps, he should pay attention to his diet, adjust his emotions, use Fuxin to control the development of the polyps, eliminate discomfort symptoms, inhibit the polyps, gradually atrophy, eliminate it, strengthen the body, and finally avoid recurrence.
For intestinal polyps that has a volume of more than 1.5cm, has serious symptoms, or has other suspected signs of cancer or cancer, it should be surgically removed in time to avoid cancer and endanger the patient's life. Of course, surgical resection is not a one-time solution. Patients still need to undergo regular re-examination after the operation. It is recommended to use the above traditional Chinese medicine method to eliminate the lesions of unexcited polyps and polyps, and to regulate the entire gastrointestinal function and qi-generating mechanism to avoid polyps growing again. In addition, in the future, you should eat regularly, eat less spicy, irritating, and greasy food, quit smoking and drinking, so as not to further stimulate the gastric mucosa and induce polyps to grow.
