Symptoms of Colon Polyps

Most of the time there are no obvious symptoms of colon polyps although the digestive system is likely not working efficiently. Many times indigestion is ignored if not considered serious or dealt with by using antacids, etc.

Many people don't know their digestion is inefficient because they have never experienced efficient digestion. A person who lives and eats very healthy would notice inefficient digestion almost immediately and so would quickly notice the symptoms of colon polyps.

If there are symptoms of colon polyps, they are usually rectal bleeding (most common symptom), diarrhea or constipation.

Following are the different types of colon polyps.

Hyperplastic - A fairly common type of polyp, usually very small and found in the rectum and low risk for cancer.

Tubular adenoma or adenomatous polyp - This is the most common type of polyp and around 70% of polyps are this type. Adenomas carry a high cancer risk as the polyp increases in size. Adenomatous polyps usually cause no symptoms and grow slowly. They may take years to turn into cancer.

Villous adenoma - About 15% of polyps are of this type. There is a very high cancer risk with this type of polyp as it grows larger. Often they are sessile which means they are flat growths. Some polyps grow on a stem like a mushroom.

What Causes Colon Polyps?

It is the mainly the body's reaction to dietary factors although stress can complicate most health problems too. Polyps are common and they occur in thirty five to fifty percent of adults in highly industrialized countries. Polyps are not an issue in primitive peoples or many third world countries where there is little or no processed food eaten.

Not all polyps will become cancer. It takes a few years for a polyp become cancerous. Polyps can be completely and safely removed surgicqally but using this method does not stop new polyps from forming since the cause has not been addressed.

The following factors are important to take into account to avoid all kinds of colon problems including symptoms of colon polyps.

Also, the only cold pressed oil that retains its healthy qualities after heating is cold processed coconut oil. Refined coconut oil is very unhealthy.

A diet high in red meat is implicated in many colon problems including symptoms of colon polyps.

Polyps are the colon's way of protesting the damage due to poor diet and remember that only in highly industrialized countries where much highly processed and refined food with chemical preservatives is eaten are there so many colon problems.
