Will oral polyps go away on their own?

Oral polyps are generally caused by long-term inflammation in the oral cavity. Oral polyps will not disappear on their own. Severe oral polyps require surgery. Although oral polyps are generally benign, we cannot ignore them. In daily life, we must pay more attention to oral hygiene, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and try to achieve a balanced nutrition.

1. Overview

1. Oral polyps refer to tumors formed by localized proliferation of mucosal protrusions. Oral polyps are tumors formed by localized proliferation of the oral mucosa. Oral polyps can be divided into pedunculated, sessile, broad-based, flat, etc. in terms of morphology.

2. Polyp refers to a tumor formed by localized proliferation of mucosal protrusions. Gastrointestinal polyps are tumors formed by localized proliferation of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Gastrointestinal polyps can be divided into gastric polyps, duodenal polyps, small intestinal polyps, and colorectal polyps according to the location of the lesions. The colorectum is the main site of onset, and the colonoscopy detection rate is 10%~20%. Gastrointestinal polyps can be morphologically divided into pedunculated, sessile, broad-based, flat, etc.

3. Polyps are a type of benign tumor. However, cysts that grow under the skin, lipomas in the fat, myomas in the muscles, etc. can also cause bulges on the body surface, but they do not fall into the category of 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", and so on. If there are more than two polyps in a certain part, it is also called "multiple polyps".

II. Comments and Suggestions

If it is a polyp, don't be too nervous. It is actually the proliferative granulation tissue caused by trauma, inflammation, etc. It can usually be removed surgically, but there may be a possibility of recurrence. There is no seasonal restriction for surgery. Laser, freezing, etc. can also be used. Generally, surgical resection is the best treatment option and can be performed in general outpatient clinics.

3. Daily Care

After the operation, pay attention to keeping the incision clean, maintain oral hygiene, and carry out anti-infection treatment.
