Question 1

is painful to remove a rectum little polyp? in which way can be removed? after removing it , do i have to follow a specific food diet?
thank you!

Accepted Answer

Polyps: are removed during colonoscopy while you are sedated, using cautery.  There are no nerve endings in the base of the polyp, so it shouldn't be painful.  After removing it, you should be able to eat a healthy diet.

Question 2

how to rectify deviated septum or nasal polyp using medicine and food?

Accepted Answer

Nasonex (mometasone) &amp; Singulair: There is no medication or dietary change that will reverse a deviated septum. This is a structural problem and requires surgery to correct. Nasonex (mometasone) (nasal steroid spray) and Singulair can help prevent further growth of allergic nasal polyps and can help prevent recurrence after they are surgically removed. Oral steroids like prednisone can shrink polyps but this is a short-term fix - will recur.

Question 3

what type of foods should i eat if i have internal hemorrhoids and a little polyp? sweets, yogurt, proteins, white cheese,cocoa and tea are forbidden?

Accepted Answer

Anything.: You can eat anything when you have internal hemorrhoids as long as you avoid constipation and don't strain. Easiest way to take a tablespoon of Metamucil dissolve in 12 glass of water and follow with one glass of water.

Question 4

had colonoscopy 6 months ago was diagnosed with diverticulosis otherwise no cancer or polyps the last 2 days i have had red to maroon color and small particles of food in stools could i have colon cancer or anal cancer after only 6 months of test?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If the colonoscopy was done with proper colon preparation you are unlikely to have colon cancer. You are more likely to have developed hemorrhoids, but it would still be prudent to see your doctor as even hemorrhoids can cause enough blood loss to result in anemia.

Question 5

i have frequent sinus infections with a history of nasal polyps. it seems as if dairy worsens my sinuses. is this common? does this mean i'm allergic to dairy? should i have food allergy tests completed?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Yes, you could have a food allergy, but dairy products as increase mucous production as well as making the mucous thicker. With the addition of a polyp, the sinuses have a hard time draining thicker mucous and block the sinuses and trap bacteria. The mucous is thickened for sugar molecules and is a great food sorce for the trapped bacteria, leading to an infection.

Question 6

about a hour after dinner if it's a heavy meal.it feels like food is stuck in my throat. i had a transnasal upper endoscopy years ago for excessive heart burn.they found polyp on my throat they biopsied&came back normal.what other tests could i get?

Accepted Answer

: Time to take another look as polyps have a tendency to keep growing locally. Best would be to work with a gastroenterologist, ideally the same one that performed the procedure years ago or at least same group. Imaging in the form of upper gi series are very useful in such conditions.

Question 7

what causes people to get polyps?

Accepted Answer

Genetics environment: Genetics and to a greater extent environmental issues and personal habits can contribute to polyp formation.

Question 8

what are the causes of tonque polyps?

Accepted Answer

Polyps?: The tongue can have rough surfaced ridges on the sides of the tongue toward the back of the mouth which are normal, and sometimes caused by displaced thyroid tissue. There are also cauliflower-like raised papillomas caused by the human papilloma virus, which carry some risk of cancer and possible spread to others who come in contact with your saliva. See a dentist for proper diagnosis.

Question 9

i have been operated of polyps 15 years ago, they grow up again, this can cause probs of health if i don't operate?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If these are colon polyps, you should get regular colonoscopies to remove them without formal surgery. All colon cancers develop from polyps, so not removing them can increase your risk to develop colon cancer. See a colorectal surgeon or gastroenterologist and have colonoscopy reports and pathology reports with you for them to evaluate and offer you the proper guidance.

Question 10

what causes a uterine polyps to grow?

Accepted Answer

Unpredictable: One can not predict the growth of a uterine polyp. They respond to female hormones but the growth pattern can not be predicted. They are easy to remove with a hysteroscopic resection.
