Intestinal polyps should not be ignored
Intestinal polyps are lumps that protrude from the wall of the intestine and are usually benign. Intestinal polyps are mainly divided into two types: adenomatous polyps and inflammatory polyps. Among them, inflammatory polyps can disappear spontaneously after the inflammation is cured. Adenomatous polyps usually will not disappear by their own. As the most common type of intestinal polyps, they are usually formed by abnormal proliferation of colon epithelial cells and have a tendency to malignancy. The most effective way to detect polyps and determine the nature of their lesions is to perform regular colonoscopy and intervene under colonoscopy. In order to avoid the large cost of colonoscopy, good habits of intestinal health management should be maintained before intestinal polyps appear.
Intestinal health management should minimize the intake of spicy, fried, fatty, high-protein and irritating foods, keep appropriate exercise and good mood, and adhere to regular intestinal health check-ups. Multiple guidelines indicate that calprotin can be used as an indicator of bowel cancer screening. Due to the advantages of high sensitivity, good specificity, non-invasive, low price, simple operation, and suitable for large-scale promotion, calprotectin detection can be used as a preferred screening item before colonoscopy, to help doctors judge whether further colonoscopy is needed, so it can alleviate the current situation of insufficient colonoscopy resources and save patients' costs. Meanwhile, calprotin detection can also be used as a prognostic assessment of intestinal inflammatory diseases to avoid the discomfort and risk caused by multiple colonoscopies.
