polyps

Polyps are small growths that develop on the inner lining of organs like the colon, nose, or uterus. They are usually benign (non-cancerous), but some can become cancerous over time if not monitored or removed. Polyps often have no symptoms, making screening important for detection. They vary in size and shape and are typically found during medical examinations or colonoscopies. Treatment generally involves removing the polyp to prevent potential progression to cancer. Regular screenings and early removal are key in managing polyps and maintaining health.
