What can I eat to dissolve polyps?
Diet cannot dissolve polyps. Polyps are a kind of hyperplastic tissue on the gastric wall, most of which are benign, but the possibility of malignancy cannot be ruled out. Therefore, polyps found in hospital examinations should be treated promptly, especially when there is a significant increase, surgery should be performed promptly. Gastric polyps generally have fewer symptoms, and are usually found through examination.
Diet cannot dissolve polyps. Polyps are hyperplastic tissues such as gastric wall, gallbladder wall, or intestinal wall, which can be divided into benign polyps and malignant polyps. Through controlling diet, we can achieve the goal of not stimulating the growth of polyps as much as possible, such as not eating spicy food like chili and spicy strips. Try not to drink alcoholic beverages, and properly intake foods rich in vitamins and fiber, such as fresh fruits and green vegetables, and properly intake high-quality proteins such as fish and shrimp. If polyps are found, regular follow-up visits are needed. If polyps are found to increase significantly, surgical treatment is required.
Most patients with gastric polyps do not have any symptoms and are only found during endoscopy. Gastric polyps mostly manifest as protrusions. Gastric polyps can be divided into several types, including fundic gland polyps, hyperplastic polyps, inflammatory polyps of the stomach, and adenomatous polyps of the stomach. Most polyps do not undergo malignant transformation, but fundic gland polyps are often accompanied by bile reflux gastritis, so symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and bitter taste often occur, but these symptoms are not directly related to gastric polyps. Gastric polyps often have no symptoms, and gastric polyps should be removed under endoscopy.
