Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Intestinal polyps are caused by factors such as genetics, congenital conditions, poor dietary habits, and mechanical intestinal injury. An intestinal polyp is an abnormal tissue growth that protrudes from the surface of the intestinal mucosa. Currently, the primary treatment for intestinal polyps in China is endoscopic removal, also known as colonoscopic surgery.
