Rectal polyp - what does this mean

Rectal polyps are small growths of tissue that protrude from the lining of the rectum. they are typically caused by a buildup of cells in the mucosa, which can be due to genetic predisposition, inflammation, or irritation. polyps can vary in size and can be asymptomatic, but some may cause rectal bleeding, itching, or pain.

What happens during the disease - rectal polyp

Rectal polyps are usually caused by an overgrowth of cells in the inner lining of the rectum. this can be due to a number of factors, such as inflammation, infection, or genetic predisposition. the overgrowth of cells can lead to an increase in the size of the rectal lining, resulting in the formation of a polyp. polyps may also form due to the accumulation of mucus and other substances in the rectum. in some cases, polyps may be benign, but they can also be a sign of more serious health conditions, such as cancer.
