A member asked:

Hello. my esophagram showed stomach polyps. which type of doctor handles this and where do i go from here? thanks

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gastroenterologist: A GI specialist can check your stomach by means of upper endoscopy. This allows a direct look inside the stomach to define the size and the number of polyps which can be either removed or a biopsy taken in order to find the cause. Treatment will be influenced by the cause.
