What are the symptoms of gastric polyps?

Gastric polyps are benign tumors on the gastric mucosa and often do not cause significant symptoms. However, in some cases, the following manifestations may occur: 1. Upper abdominal discomfort: Gastric polyps may cause discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen, especially after eating, where the discomfort might worsen. 2. Indigestion: Gastric polyps can lead to symptoms of indigestion, such as nausea, vomiting, and bloating. Decreased appetite is also a common manifestation. 3. Bleeding symptoms: If gastric polyps bleed, black stools or hematemesis may occur, which should be taken seriously in severe cases. Although most gastric polyps are benign and asymptomatic, regular gastroscopic examinations remain important, especially for individuals with a family history of gastric polyps or those experiencing related discomfort. Regular check-ups help detect early changes in polyps and prevent potential malignant transformation.
