What kind of body is prone to polyps

Polyps are generally caused by abnormal proliferation of human tissue or inflammation. There are also claims that they are due to genetic inheritance, but as for a specific physical constitution, it basically does not exist. Strictly speaking, polyps are also a disease, which is related to a person's living habits, diet, etc., rather than a certain physical constitution. Moreover, physical constitution will also change due to the acquired environment. The following editor will give you a detailed introduction to the relevant situation of polyps.

Polyp Overview

Polyp refers to the growths on the surface of human tissue. Modern medicine usually refers to the growths growing on the surface of human mucosa as polyps, including hyperplastic, inflammatory, hamartomas, adenomas and other tumors. Polyps are a type of benign tumor. The most common clinical manifestations are inflammatory polyps, adenomatous polyps and certain gastrointestinal polyposis syndromes. Although these lesions are benign, some of them have a tendency to become malignant. Cysts that grow under the skin, lipomas in adipose tissue, myomas in muscles, etc. can also cause bulges on the body surface, but they are not classified as polyps. In medicine, it is usually named according to the location where it appears. For example, those that grow on the vocal cords are called "vocal cord polyps", those that appear on the stomach wall are called "gastric polyps", those in the intestinal cavity are called "intestinal polyps", and so on. If there are more than two polyps in a certain part, it is also called "multiple polyps".

Causes

The cause of the disease has not yet been determined, but it may be related to chronic stimulation and genetic factors:

Chronic irritation

Including dietary stimulation, mechanical stimulation and inflammatory stimulation. Special stimulation caused by changes in eating habits and changes in the nature of stool; or stimulation caused by intestinal diseases such as dysentery, ulcerative colitis, schistosomiasis, pinworm disease, as well as chronic constipation, dry stool, etc., can all stimulate the rectal mucosa and cause the disease.

Gene mutation and genetic factors

It is generally believed that the formation of polyps is closely related to gene mutation and genetic factors. Current research shows that mutated genes can be inherited from parents to their offspring.
