polyps refer to excess tumors growing on the surface of human tissues. Modern medicine usually refers to the growth organisms growing on the surface of the human mucosa as polyps. Xi means more and more surplus. " Shuowen Jiezi " records "Xi is to send meat." "Huangdi Neijing. Yupian" says "tumor is to make polyps." Polyps are a kind of benign tumor. However, those cysts growing under the skin, lipomas in fat, fibroids in muscles, etc. can also cause bulges on the body surface, but they are not in the category of polyps. In medicine, it is usually named according to the part that appears. For example, if the one growing on the vocal cords is called " vocal cord polyps ", if the one that appears on the stomach wall is called " gastric polyps ", and so on. If there are more than two polyps in a certain area, it is also called "multiple polyps".
1. Polyps = cancerous?
Indeed, some of the excess "meat" in the gastrointestinal tract are ordinary growth organisms, while others are "seeds" of cancer. Generally speaking, doctors will use the pathological biopsy of polyps to obtain polyps under the endoscopy to clarify the "true face" of the polyps based on the pathological results, thereby determining the next step of treatment. We can roughly divide polyps into two categories: tumor polyps and non-tumor polyps. Tumor polyps mainly refer to adenomatous polyps and polyposis. Adenomatous polyps are the legendary "seed" of cancer, and they will become cancerous over time. In theory, as long as there is enough time (usually 5-15 years), it will eventually become cancerous one day. Non-tumor polyps are mainly inflammatory polyps, proliferative polyps, juvenile polyps, etc. They generally do not become cancerous, but they are not 100% uncancerous. If this polyp grows larger and lasts for a longer time, it is also possible to become a tumor polyps.
2. What should I do if I find gastrointestinal polyps?
In fact, most gastrointestinal polyps can be eliminated without surgery. intestinal polyps is a disease that has existed since ancient times. Traditional Chinese medicine treats intestinal polyps through promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis , clearing heat and detoxifying, regulating qi and removing blood stasis, promoting qi and detoxifying, promoting qi and detoxifying, and treating intestinal polyps from the source. Gastric polyps belong to the " epigastric pain " in traditional Chinese medicine, " fullness "; if there is bleeding, they belong 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 Xifuxin to control the development of polyps, eliminate discomfort symptoms, inhibit the polyps, gradually atrophy, eliminate it, strengthen the body, and finally avoid recurrence.
For gastrointestinal polyps that have a volume of more than 1.5cm, have serious symptoms, or have other suspected signs of cancer or cancer, they should be surgically removed in time to prevent them from becoming cancerous and endangering the patient's life. Of course, surgical resection is not a one-time solution. Patients still need to undergo regular reexamination 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.
