INTRODUCTION

Polypectomy is a minimally invasive procedure performed to remove abnormal tissue growths called polyps from the digestive tract. Polyps are commonly found in the colon, rectum, stomach, or other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Although many polyps are harmless, some may grow larger over time or develop into cancer if left untreated. Removing them at an early stage helps reduce the risk of serious health complications. If you are looking for Polyp removal treatment in Ongole, early detection and timely treatment are essential. At Asian Hospitals, we use advanced endoscopic techniques to safely remove polyps while minimizing discomfort and promoting faster recovery. Our experienced gastroenterology team focuses on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and preventive digestive care.

CONDITIONS WE TREAT

Polypectomy is recommended for patients who have polyps detected during an endoscopic examination or imaging study. Removing these growths not only relieves symptoms in some cases but also helps prevent future complications. Many polyps are discovered during Colonoscopy in Ongole, allowing doctors to remove them immediately during the same procedure, avoiding the need for additional treatment.

We provide treatment for:

  1. Colon polyps
  2. Rectal polyps
  3. Stomach polyps
  4. Large or multiple gastrointestinal polyps
  5. Precancerous polyps
  6. Polyps causing bleeding
  7. Polyps causing changes in bowel habits
  8. Polyps requiring biopsy and further evaluation

SYMPTOMS

Most digestive polyps do not cause symptoms in the early stages and are often found during routine screening. However, larger polyps or multiple polyps may produce noticeable symptoms.

Common symptoms include:

  1. Blood in the stool
  2. Rectal bleeding
  3. Changes in bowel habits
  4. Persistent constipation or diarrhea
  5. Unexplained abdominal discomfort
  6. Iron deficiency anemia
  7. Fatigue caused by blood loss
  8. Mucus in the stool
  9. Unexplained weight loss in some cases

Anyone experiencing these symptoms should consult a specialist for further evaluation.

DIAGNOSIS

The diagnosis begins with a detailed review of the patient's symptoms, medical history, family history of colorectal disease, and overall health. Blood tests may be performed if bleeding or anemia is suspected. Colonoscopy remains the most effective method for detecting and removing polyps. During the procedure, a flexible endoscope allows the doctor to examine the lining of the colon and remove abnormal growths using specialized instruments. The removed tissue is then sent for laboratory analysis to determine whether it is benign, precancerous, or cancerous. In certain situations where minor bleeding occurs after polyp removal, advanced techniques such as Hemoclip in Ongole may be used to secure the treated area and achieve effective bleeding control.
