Question 1

what does benign fibroepithelial polyp means?

Accepted Answer

Skin tag.: This is a lesion on your skin that has no chance of becoming cancer.  It is formed of skin cells and is sometimes called a skin tag or acrochordon.

Question 2

what is fibroepithelial polyp of the vulva? is this hpv or is it just skin?

Accepted Answer

No it is not: This is a benign growth that can be found on the vulva or in the vagina.  It can be hormone sensitive, if someone were taking hormones.  It is not caused by HPV but to be certain, one should have a biopsy done.  I assume by this question that this has been done.  Here is a reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3716997/

Question 3

what's the difference between of skin tags and labial polyp?

Accepted Answer

Size: Skin tags are common and always benign. Although polyps may occur on mucosal membranes they are rare on skin. Polyps that occur anywhere have the potential to be malignant and may require biopsy for histologic evaluation. They are generally much larger than skin tags.

Question 4

i recently had a colonoscopy and had a polyp removed.  my doctor went on vacation right after. are all polyps precancerous or can they be like skin tags and be nothing?

Accepted Answer

Not all precancerous: Whether or not a polyp is precancerous depends on they cell type within the polyp and its size.  Here's a link to some info on the different types of polyps: http://coloncancer.About.Com/od/coloncancerbasics/a/polyptypes.Htm.
It's great that you had that polyp removed!  congratulations on getting your colonoscopy done.

Question 5

help docs, are genital warts (hpv) the same fibroepithelial polyp?

Accepted Answer

No: A fibroepithelial polyp is what is commonly referred to as a skin tag. These are not related to HPV like genital warts are.

Question 6

i have morning blood in my mouth and i have a pain under ribcage right.i had colonoscopy.they can t find the problem.i had 6 polyps and removed.still ?

Accepted Answer

Blood: A colonscopy can help rule out causes of bleeding in the lower GI tract, but does not explain why you have blood in your mouth or rib cage pain -- see your doctor.

Question 7

hi i noticed lately that my mouth is always dry and i also has enlarged nasal polyps so my question is the dry mouth something serious ? thanks

Accepted Answer

Nasal polyps: The dry mouth is probably due to chronic mouth breathing. You should be on nasal steroid to try and shrink your polyps with oral steroids if it gets particularly bad. Surgery is an option for you if the nasal polyps are obstructive.

Question 8

i recently had surgery to remove a polyp and my lip and my mouth was hurt due to the breathing tube. i have tingling and numbness in my lip,what to do?

Accepted Answer

The tingling and : numbness may be from the pressure the breathing tube was placing on the soft tissues on the lip.The feeling should come back within a week or so.If not,return to your doc and discus.

Question 9

i have a tight chest, weezing and dry cough, and sinusitis. nose is continually blocked and blowing my nose continually. had nasal polyps removed more than 10 years ago.try to take antihistamines an cough mixture but no help.breathing with mouth open?

Accepted Answer

Nasal polyp: Check with yourENT physician.You may have a recurrence of your nasal polyps.

Question 10

what could cause sore polyp-like things on your tongue?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: This is something that needs to be seen to be able to tell you what is going on.  See a dentist or an oral surgeon for an evaluation.
