How to prevent the recurrence of intestinal polyps

The harm caused by rectal polyps is very serious. Patients should pay more attention to this disease. This disease should be discovered early and can only be discovered through examination in the hospital. Multiple polyps require surgical treatment. Rectal polyps often occur in the rectum and sigmoid colon. According to clinical statistics, the recurrence rate of single polyps is 15%, while the recurrence rate of multiple polyps is about 35%. In addition, rectal polyps may recur after treatment. Therefore, it is very important to understand the prevention and treatment methods of rectal polyps!

To prevent the recurrence of rectal polyps, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Appropriate supplementation of antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin C and vitamin E, can effectively prevent the recurrence of colorectal polyps. 2. Keep bowel movements smooth and develop good bowel habits. If feces stays in the large intestine for too long, it will stimulate the proliferation of intestinal mucosa and cause polyps. 3. Eat more green leafy vegetables rich in fiber and reduce the intake of fat and irritating foods. 4. Adhere to regular colonoscopy examinations. Single polyps should be reviewed every 2 years, multiple polyps should be reviewed once a year, and those who suspect polyps may become cancerous should have a colonoscopy reviewed every 3 to 6 months. 5. Treat chronic diarrhea. Chronic inflammation of the colon, such as intestinal tuberculosis and ulcerative colitis, can stimulate the colon mucosa and cause hyperplasia. If chronic inflammation is treated according to different causes, the recurrence of colon polyps can be reduced.
