They are usually solitary polyps found in the rectum which most commonly present with rectal bleeding. [en.wikipedia.org]

Extra-intestinal manifestations FAP patients commonly present some extra-intestinal manifestations. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Article / Publication Details First-Page Preview Abstract Colorectal Adenomas and Polyposis Syndromes: Modern Diagnostics and Endoscopic Therapy Colorectal adenomas may present as singular, multiple, or as polyposis syndromes. [karger.com]

Usually, the larger the size of the adenoma, the greater the chance that there may be cancer or pre-cancerous cells present in the polyp. [gi.org]

• Pain

  Signs and symptoms [ edit ] Colorectal polyps are not usually associated with symptoms. [2] When they occur, symptoms include rectal bleeding, bloody stools, abdominal pain and fatigue. [2] Due to chronic blood loss from rectal bleeding and bloody stools [en.wikipedia.org]

  Larger polyps may bleed or partially obstruct the colonic lumen; therefore, hematochezia (visible or occult) or obstructive symptoms such as abdominal pain, swelling, or change in bowel habits may prompt investigation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Anemia

  […] not usually associated with symptoms. [2] When they occur, symptoms include rectal bleeding, bloody stools, abdominal pain and fatigue. [2] Due to chronic blood loss from rectal bleeding and bloody stools, they sometimes present with iron deficiency anemia [en.wikipedia.org]

• Asymptomatic

  Gastro-intestinal polyps—most commonly of the colon and stomach—are typical of the syndrome but are usually asymptomatic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Swelling

  Larger polyps may bleed or partially obstruct the colonic lumen; therefore, hematochezia (visible or occult) or obstructive symptoms such as abdominal pain, swelling, or change in bowel habits may prompt investigation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Abdominal Pain

  Signs and symptoms [ edit ] Colorectal polyps are not usually associated with symptoms. [2] When they occur, symptoms include rectal bleeding, bloody stools, abdominal pain and fatigue. [2] Due to chronic blood loss from rectal bleeding and bloody stools [en.wikipedia.org]

  Larger polyps may bleed or partially obstruct the colonic lumen; therefore, hematochezia (visible or occult) or obstructive symptoms such as abdominal pain, swelling, or change in bowel habits may prompt investigation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Constipation

  A change in bowel habits may occur including constipation and diarrhoea. [4] Occasionally, if a polyp is big enough to cause a bowel obstruction, there may be nausea, vomiting and severe constipation. [4] Structure [ edit ] Polyps are either pedunculated [en.wikipedia.org]

• Hematochezia

  Larger polyps may bleed or partially obstruct the colonic lumen; therefore, hematochezia (visible or occult) or obstructive symptoms such as abdominal pain, swelling, or change in bowel habits may prompt investigation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Rectal Bleeding

  Signs and symptoms [ edit ] Colorectal polyps are not usually associated with symptoms. [2] When they occur, symptoms include rectal bleeding, bloody stools, abdominal pain and fatigue. [2] Due to chronic blood loss from rectal bleeding and bloody stools [en.wikipedia.org]

• Ulcer

  People with juvenile polyposis have an increased risk of colon cancer. [9] Inflammatory polyp [ edit ] These are polyps which are associated with inflammatory conditions such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. [en.wikipedia.org]

  The same procedure is performed for medically refractory ulcerative colitis; however, the functional results are better for patients with FAP. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment of FAP The treatment of FAP is prophylactic surgery, directed at removal of all affected colonic and rectal mucosa. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment What is the treatment for colon polyps? The best treatment for colon polyps is polypectomy (a painless removal of the polyp with a colonoscope at the time of colonoscopy). [gi.org]

The detection of extremely small polyps, which was enabled by modern technologies, is a substantial improvement in the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal adenomas. [karger.com]

Serrated polyposis syndrome Serrated polyposis syndrome (SPS), also known as ‘hyperplastic polyposis syndrome’, is a newly recognized, usually sporadic, and rare condition for which the molecular etiology and pattern of inheritance (if any) remain unknown [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention What can I do to prevent colon polyps? At the current time, no one knows how to prevent colon polyps. [gi.org]

Early identification and removal of these lesions is a highly effective method of preventing morbidity and mortality from colorectal carcinoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Since 90% of all colorectal carcinomas result from the adenoma( neoplasia)-carcinoma sequence, prevention of carcinomas should focus on neoplastic polyps. [karger.com]

Prevention [ edit ] Diet and lifestyle are believed to play a large role in whether colorectal polyps form. [en.wikipedia.org]
