What should I do if my child has rectal polyps?

How should children be cared for and treated when they encounter rectal polyps? The editor found that most parents of children with this disease have this problem. Because they are afraid that the treatment results for the child will be bad, or that the treatment time will be delayed, and it will have an adverse impact on the child's daily life recovery. Today I will introduce these problems to you, hoping that you will not be too nervous when you encounter this disease in the future.

First, for patients with cecal and colon polyps, dietary adjustment is also very important. An unreasonable diet often aggravates symptoms such as diarrhea and bleeding. Therefore, pediatric patients are required to abstain from drinking and spicy foods, and should eat light and easily digestible foods. Pay attention to your diet, avoid spicy foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables and soups. Pay attention to rest and avoid doing physical work. Keep a happy mood, read some books or newspapers, and listen to some music. Keep warm, avoid catching cold, and do not eat raw or cold food.

Second, for single polyps, colonoscopy resection is the preferred treatment method. For multiple polyps or polyposis, colonoscopy-assisted staged and segmented polypectomy can be performed. If there are too many polyps in the diseased intestinal segment to allow colonoscopy to remove them, surgical resection of the diseased intestinal segment may be considered.

Third, after colorectal polypectomy, regular follow-up and reexamination should be performed. Since it is not easy to completely remove polyp tissue using methods such as electrocautery, ligation, and ligation, the residual tissue can easily proliferate again to form polyps, so regular check-ups are extremely important. Discover and treat at any time.

Fourth, for young children with polyps, intestinal segment resection is not an option, because the disease tends to heal on its own, and the simple ligation or cauterization therapy has a very reliable effect. Attention should be paid to the child's mentality.

Therefore, when rectal polyps appear, parents can relax their minds. As long as they insist on following the doctor's treatment methods, the child can recover quickly. Moreover, the problem of rectal polyps should be treated promptly for children, which will have a better effect in alleviating the symptoms.
