Polyps are abnormal growths of tissue that can form on the lining of organs or within body cavities. They are most commonly found in areas such as Colon, Nose, Uterus, Stomach and Bladder. The treatment of polyps depends on their type, location, size, and whether there is any risk of them becoming cancerous.

There are five types of Colon polyps like Colon (Colorectal Polyps), Nasal Polyps, Uterine Polyps, Stomach (Gastric Polyps), Bladder Polyps

• Colon ( Colorectal Polyps ) : These are the most common type and can develop in the lining of the large intestine. Some are benign (non-cancerous), while others can be precancerous, meaning they have the potential to develop into colon cancer over time.
• Nasal Polyps : Growths in the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses, often associated with chronic inflammation, allergies, or asthma. They can lead to symptoms like nasal congestion, reduced sense of smell, and difficulty breathing.
• Uterine Polyps : These form on the lining of the uterus (endometrium) and can cause irregular menstrual bleeding, heavy periods, or even infertility in some cases.
• Stomach (Gastric Polyps) : Found on the stomach lining, often detected during endoscopy. Most are benign, but some types may require monitoring due to the risk of malignancy.
• Bladder Polyps : These grow on the lining of the bladder and may cause blood in the urine or other urinary symptoms.

• Chronic inflammation
• Genetic factors (e.g., familial adenomatous polyposis in colon polyps)
• Obesity
• High-fat diet (for colorectal polyps)
• Hormonal changes (for uterine polyps)

• Often asymptomatic, especially in early stages.
• May cause bleeding, pain, obstruction, or changes in function depending on their location.
• For example, rectal bleeding in colorectal polyps or nasal congestion in nasal polyps.
