Rectal Polyp

Rectal Polyp

A rectal polyp is a growth on the inner lining of the rectum, which is the last part of the large intestine leading to the anus. Rectal polyps can vary in size and shape and are generally classified as benign (non-cancerous), but some may develop into cancer over time.

Treatments

  • Polypectomy: Removal of polyps during a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. Most polyps can be removed during the screening procedure.
  • Surgery: In rare cases, when polyps are too large or numerous, surgery may be necessary to remove them.
  • Surveillance: Regular follow-up screenings are essential, especially for individuals who have had polyps removed, as new polyps can develop.

Symptoms

  • Often Asymptomatic: Many rectal polyps do not cause symptoms and are discovered during routine screenings.
  • Rectal Bleeding: Blood in the stool or rectal bleeding may occur.
  • Change in Bowel Habits: Persistent diarrhea, constipation, or a change in the consistency of stool.
  • Abdominal Pain: Occasionally, large polyps may cause discomfort or pain in the abdomen.
  • Iron-Deficiency Anemia: Chronic bleeding from polyps can lead to anemia, resulting in fatigue and weakness.

Causes and Risk Factors

  • Genetic Factors: Some people inherit a tendency to develop polyps due to genetic conditions like familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Lynch syndrome.
  • Chronic Inflammation: Conditions that cause long-term inflammation in the colon, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, can increase the risk of developing polyps.
  • Age: The risk of rectal polyps increases with age, particularly after age 50.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Diets high in fat, red meat, and low in fiber, as well as smoking and alcohol consumption, can contribute to the development of polyps.
  • Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyle: These factors can also increase the risk.

Diagnosis

  • Colonoscopy: A colonoscope (a long, flexible tube with a camera) is inserted into the rectum to view the entire colon. Polyps can be detected and often removed during this procedure.
  • Flexible Sigmoidoscopy: Similar to a colonoscopy, but only examines the rectum and the lower part of the colon.
  • Biopsy: In rare cases, a biopsy may be performed to rule out other conditions, such as anal warts or tumors.
  • CT Colonography: A specialized CT scan that provides images of the colon and rectum

Prevention

  • Regular Screening: Especially for individuals over 50 or those with a family history of polyps or colorectal cancer.
  • Healthy Diet: Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and reduce the intake of red meat and high-fat foods.
  • Physical Activity: Regular exercise can help maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of polyps.
  • Avoid Smoking and Excessive Alcohol: Reducing these habits can lower the risk of developing polyps.
  • Manage Weight: Maintaining a healthy weight can decrease the risk of developing polyps.
