Polyps on the penis

Polyps are abnormal growths of body tissues that can cause serious symptoms. Some men have polyps on their penises. Penile polyposis is not common, but it is very painful for the patient, who cannot have a normal sex life and may even feel pain. In this case, you should go to the hospital for surgical removal in time. After the removal, pay attention to your daily living habits and reproductive hygiene. So, what precautions should be taken when you have polyps on your penis?

1. Causes

The cause of the disease is still unclear, but it may be related to chronic stimulation and genetic factors:

1. Chronic irritation

Including diet, mechanical stimulation and inflammatory stimulation. Special stimulation caused by changes in eating habits and changes in the nature of feces; or stimulation from intestinal diseases such as dysentery, ulcerative colitis, schistosomiasis, trichomoniasis, as well as chronic constipation and dry stool, can all stimulate the rectal mucosa and cause illness.

2. Gene mutation and genetic factors

It is generally believed that polyp formation is closely related to gene mutation and genetic factors. Current research shows that mutant genes can be passed from parents to offspring.

2. Common Diseases

Tumor polyps, intestinal polyposis, uterine polyps, cervical polyps, laryngeal polyps, nasal polyps, colorectal polyps, gastric polyps, colon polyps, gallbladder polyps, etc.

3. Differential diagnosis

The main basis for differential diagnosis is pathological examination. The main clinical differential contents include:

1. Number of lesions

2. Morphology of the lesion

3. Location of lesion

In clinical practice, it should also be distinguished from other lesions of the upper abdomen, including duodenal ulcer, intrahepatic and extrahepatic gallstones, chronic pancreatitis and hepatitis.

4. Inspection

1. The following examinations are performed for digestive tract polyps

①Barium meal, barium enema; ②Endoscopy; ③Pathology.

2. Cervical polyps are examined as follows

① Gynecological examination; ② Cervical smear showing Papanicolaou grade II; ③ Cervical biopsy.

3. For nasal polyps, perform nasal endoscopy and nasal sinus X-ray, and pathological biopsy if necessary.

5. Treatment Principles

Endoscopic (gastroscopy, enteroscopy) removal of polyps is a very effective measure to prevent them from becoming cancerous. Currently, the endoscopic methods for treating polyps include: high-frequency electrocoagulation and electroresection, high-frequency electrocautery, laser therapy, microwave therapy, cryotherapy, etc.
