These symptoms include: epigastric pain; nausea; vomiting; weight loss; The polyps on endoscopy are usually tiny, numerous and sessile, [3] and usually scattered throughout the fundus of the stomach, where parietal cells are more numerous. They have the same colour as the gastric mucosa, and never have a stalk. [4]
Juvenile polyps often do not cause symptoms (asymptomatic); when present, symptoms usually include gastrointestinal bleeding and prolapse through the rectum. Removal of the polyp (polypectomy) is warranted when symptoms are present, for treatment and definite histopathological diagnosis. In the absence of symptoms, removal is not necessary.
A fundic gland polyp is a type of polyp, found in the fundus of the stomach. Fundic gland polyps are found in 0.8 to 1.9% of patients who undergo esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and are more common in middle-aged women. [2] The risk of malignancy is very low or none, when sporadic. [3]
Sessile polyps have a shorter pathway for migration of invasive cells from the tumor into submucosal and more distant structures, and they are also more difficult to remove and ascertain. Sessile polyps larger than 2 cm usually contain villous features, have a higher malignant potential, and tend to recur following colonoscopic polypectomy. [18]
What’s the link between biological age and polyps? Risk factors for early-onset colorectal cancer, such as obesity, smoking, alcohol use, and certain lifestyle habits, are also associated with ...
Solitary juvenile polyps most commonly occur in the rectum and present with rectal bleeding.

[4] While the exact cause of hemorrhoids remains unknown, a number of factors that increase pressure in the abdomen are believed to be involved. [4] This may include constipation, diarrhea, and sitting on the toilet for long ...
Inflammatory fibroid polyps have demonstrated a higher incidence in individuals with a family history of gastrointestinal polyps. [29] Activating mutations in the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha gene were found in 70% of cases in a genetic study involving inflammatory fibroid polyps. [30]
