Polyp: S are abnormal cell masses

Polyps are abnormal cell masses that can commonly occur in people, and most do not harm the body. However, some types can turn into cancer if not diagnosed, treated, and monitored in time. Abnormal cell growths mostly form in internal organs such as the nasal cavity, uterus, colon, or rectum. Polyps are commonly found in the colon, stomach, nose, ear, sinus (es), urinary bladder, and uterus. [3][4] They may also occur elsewhere in the body where there are mucous membranes, including the cervix, vocal folds, and small intestine. Polyps Treatment Treating polyps typically involves removing them to prevent complications like bleeding or potential malignancy. The method of removal depends on the size, location, and type of the polyp. Early detection and intervention are key to effective treatment and reducing risks. Polyps are referred to as the abnormal tissue growths that usually appear as small, flat bumps or small versions of the mushroom stalks.
