What causes sessile polyp?
Like other polyps, the polyp is caused by abnormal cell growth, which can be caused by various factors. Some of these factors can be prevented and some do not. Among the factors that contribute to the development of the sessile polyp are age, race, family history of polyps, smoking, obesity and certain digestive conditions. Although cancer occurs in a similar way, it does not mean that all polyps are cancer, even if they can become malignant. The larger the polyp, the more likely it is to become cancer. The sitting polyp is generally large and flat shape, unlike other polyps that could be in the shape of a sponge and contain a stem. Although polyps are generally considered to develop in the large intestine, they may also occur in the stomach, nose, uterus, sinus, bladder and elsewhere in the body. Polyps of the large intestine are perhaps the most feared polyp due to the increased risk of colon cancer that occurs. People over 40 years of age have an increased risk as well as those who have a familya medical history of polyps, sessile or otherwise. Someone suffering from chronic thick or digestive state, such as Crohn's disease, is more likely to develop polyps.
Some genetic mutations can create one susceptible to polyps. Smoking and obesity were associated with a greater risk of polyps. The race can also be a factor. People of African origin can be more likely to develop polyps.
Symptoms of polyps sessions are diverse and depend on which part of the body is affected. Polyps can cause discomfort or bleeding, but often have no symptoms. The treatment of sitting polyps depends on the birthplace. Smaller, benign polyps are often simply left alone. Larger or cancer polyps are removed by pliers or simple surgery.
One can reduce the chances of developing sessile polyp by eased risk factors that can be preceded, such as smoking and avoidingObesity. In addition, studies have shown that sufficient vitamin D intake can help in addition to eating fibrous diet. Eating red meat and getting a lot of exercises are also beneficial.
Screenings are also essential for catching polyps when the timing of their development. People 50 years or more should have regular colonoscopy to detect polyps. Polyps that are detected early can be removed by a surgeon, which can prevent complications such as cancer development.
