What causes polyps in the duodenum?

Most polyps found at the beginning of the small intestine, also called duodenum, remain symptoms without symptoms until they reach sufficiently large to cause bleeding, stomach pain or vomiting. Most oodenum polyps are discovered during unrelated medical examinations. While polyps in the duodenum are usually benign, some become malignant or cancer. Biopsy

on surgically removed polyps determine whether the patient has cancer. Once the patient is found to have polyps in the duodenum, we recommend regular checks to monitor the possibility of new growth. The physician determines the frequency of testing for each patient. There are several possible causes for polyps. It is believed that gastritis

in some patients causes the growth of stomach polyp. Inflammation of the stomach lining, which occurs with gastritis, may be caused by viral or bacterial infections. Excessive use of specific substances of pain, drinking too much alcohol or injuredAbdomen can also cause gastritis.

Anemia of vitamin B-12 is considered a precursor for growing polyp duodenum. This anemia creates a reduction of red blood cells. One of the causes of this anemia is the insufficient amount of vitamins C and B-12 in the diet. The inability of the body properly absorb vitamins can also cause anemia.

Age

is a factor in terms of polyps developing in the duodenum. Most patients found that such polyps were at least 60 years old. One exception of this is found in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). In FAP, which runs in families, young adults are also at risk of developing several hundred to several thousand polyps in their intestines. Patients with this disorder have a duodenum polyp development in 80 percent of FAP diagnosed cases.

virtually all patients with FAP will develop either stomach or colon cancer 40. Preventive treatment FAP includes surgeonClearly removal of the large intestine and rectum. This surgery eliminates the possibility of polyps in the duodenum.

When polyps are discovered in the duodenuda, a decision on treatment is made. In many cases, they are removed and biopsy to check malignancy. In some cases, the medical team decides to access and monitor. Regular inspections are carried out, and if more growing or existing polyps increase, biopsy is performed. Most polyps are removed during the biopsy and no additional treatment is required.
