The treatment of intestinal polyps depends on the specific type of polyps.

Polyps are generally divided into inflammatory polyps and adenomatous polyps.

If it is an inflammatory polyp, usually the polyp is relatively small in size. Most of them are caused by inflammation of the rectum or colon. In this case, after conservative treatment, including traditional Chinese medicine enema or oral antibiotics for anti - inflammation, some inflammatory polyps will disappear on their own.

If it is an adenomatous polyp, there are three types, including villous adenoma, tubular adenoma, and tubulovillous adenoma. Once an adenoma is detected, surgical resection under colonoscopy is required, which can prevent the adenoma from becoming cancerous after it grows larger.
