What is a Rectal Polyp?
A Rectal Polyp is an abnormal tissue growth on the inner lining of the rectum or large intestine. While most rectal polyps are non-cancerous (benign) initially, certain types can gradually develop into rectal cancer over several years if left untreated.
Polyps can vary in size and appearance, ranging from small flat bumps (sessile) to growths attached by a small stem (pedunculated). Timely screening and removal are critical for long-term colorectal health.
Common Types & Symptoms
Rectal polyps often develop without causing clear symptoms, but larger polyps may cause noticeable changes:
Adenomatous Polyps
The most common type. Although benign, adenomas have the potential to turn malignant over time.
Hyperplastic Polyps
Generally small, benign growths that carry a very low risk of developing into cancer.
Rectal Bleeding
Noticeable bright red or dark blood mixed in stool or present on toilet tissue.
Bowel Habit Changes
Persistent diarrhea, constipation, or feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation.
Diagnosis & Minimally Invasive Removal
At Piles Hospital & Research Centre, we offer modern diagnostic tools and advanced surgical techniques for prompt polyp identification and removal:
- Proctoscopy & Sigmoidoscopy: Direct visual inspection of the rectal lining to locate polyps.
- Endoscopic Polypectomy: Minimally invasive removal of polyps during routine examination without open surgery.
- Histopathological Analysis: Tissue biopsy to confirm whether the polyp is benign or requires further therapy.
- Post-Procedure Monitoring: Regular surveillance to ensure zero recurrence and complete recovery.
