Symptoms of gastrointestinal polyp hyperplasia:

1. Defecation habits as well as shape changes: Defecation habits change from regular and scheduled to anytime and anywhere, need to go to the toilet frequently;unformed stools, long-term thin watery or granular (2 weeks or more); It is a deviation from the original earthy color of the stool to a variety of other colors, which requires sufficient attention for stool testing, or colon endoscopy as well as esophagogastroduodenal endoscopy.

2. Expulsion of black stools, bloody stools: These two stool colors indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, for which patients need to pay enough attention. First, a major reason for the appearance of black stools is because when the stomach is grinding food, it can cause a small number of polyps growing in the stomach to rupture and bleed, and after the digestive tract processing, the bright red blood will gradually turn black, and excreted through the anus. In addition, the formation of bloody stools is due to the fact that the polyps growing in the sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus are broken by the passage of harder feces, at this time, because the fresh blood in the large intestine has not been processed by the digestive tract, so it will be bright red Blood, accompanied by feces, is excreted from the body.

3. Bleeding when wiping with tissue: Another possibility is the growth of internal hemorrhoids in the intestine, friction leads to rupture and bleeding, in which case there is no need to worry too much. However, most patients a due to long-term unhealthy eating habits lead to simultaneous hyperplasia of internal hemorrhoids as well as gastrointestinal polyps. Therefore, when you see bloody stools or black stools during defecation, or even bleeding during wiping, you need to seek medical diagnosis to prevent future problems.
   
   
4. Long-term fatigue, anemia: Because gastrointestinal polyps often bleed due to rupture, patients will be mentally poor due to continuous bleeding, feel tired, if nutritional supplements are not enough, will lead to the appearance of anemia and less common symptoms Diarrhea as well as excessive secretion of potassium. Once suspected, you need to consult your doctor.

After understanding the main symptoms of gastrointestinal polyp hyperplasia and formation, we will take a look at how to "prevent the problem before it happens", do a good gastrointestinal maintenance process, to effectively prevent gastrointestinal polyp hyperplasia and cancer.

Preventive measures for gastrointestinal polyp hyperplasia and cancer:

1. Change the habit of staying up late: Staying up late is an inevitable lifestyle habit of Hong Kong people, can not be eradicated, can only be improved; Friends eat, drink and have fun, parties gather It will be inevitable, so these important days are arranged in these two days, and the next five days are to fall asleep before 12 o'clock, so that the intestines can have enough rest and repair from 12 am to the next day time to improve gastrointestinal digestion efficiency and improve gastrointestinal health.

2. A balanced diet: A balanced diet is easier said than done. Especially in Hong Kong, the "food capital", going out for food after work and school has become a major norm for us. So instead of staying at home every day to cook healthy meals, it's better to go out and eat healthier. Try to control a high-oil and high-fat diet to 2 days or less, a light diet is 3 days a week, and the remaining 3 days can be a normal diet. On the one hand of supplementing with probiotics, we can purchase intestinal probiotic supplements to provide beneficial probiotics to the intestines and improve intestinal digestive problems. In terms of dietary fiber, we can head to the supermarket to purchase mixed fruit boxes to supplement the intestines with dietary fiber as well as prebiotics, which help the intestinal probiotics to play their role and promote intestinal absorption and digestion.

3. Moderate exercise: running, swimming, going to the gym, etc., can make the abdomen contract, promote intestinal peristalsis, speed up the digestion of the intestines, so that food can be absorbed in a shorter time, and can improve bloating, constipation and other common digestive problems . This reduces the risk of gastric tissue mutating into gastric polyps due to overeating, furthermore, improved constipation problems, smoother bowel movements also effectively reduce the long-term accumulation of harder stools in the large intestine, and reduce the risk of intestinal polyps rupture .

4. Quit Smoking and Alcohol: Consumables such as tobacco and alcohol have become one of the frequent items at party gatherings. And reducing the intake of pure heat energy foods such as alcohol allows the body to reabsorb the intake of other foods containing a variety of nutrients, such as minerals, proteins, and vitamins. In the long run, the appetite is reboosted, food intake is increased, and the intestinal mucosa is reshaped, thereby improving the digestion and absorption of nutrients by the intestines. Finally, the growth of gastrointestinal polyps will slowly be prevented in the gut over time, avoiding deterioration into gastrointestinal cancer.
