Specialized diagnosis and treatment for anal polyps and rectal growths — accurate evaluation, video rectoscopy and minimally invasive removal, all in one clinic.
What is an Anal Polyp?
An abnormal growth in the anal or rectal lining
Many patients mistake anal polyps for piles because both can present with bleeding — proper examination is the only way to know the difference.
An anal polyp is a small abnormal growth that develops in the lining of the anal canal or lower rectum. Polyps vary in size and shape — some remain small and asymptomatic, while others gradually enlarge and cause bleeding, mucus discharge, irritation or bowel discomfort.
Although many polyps are non-cancerous, accurate examination is important to determine the nature of the growth and plan suitable treatment. Early detection improves outcomes and prevents further complications.
Why Polyps Develop
Common factors behind polyp formation
The exact cause varies from patient to patient. Most polyps trace back to a combination of these underlying factors.
STEP 01
Chronic Inflammation
Long-standing irritation or inflammation in the anal or rectal lining can trigger abnormal tissue growth.
STEP 02
Digestive & Bowel Disorders
Certain bowel conditions and digestive disturbances may contribute to changes in the rectal lining.
STEP 03
Family History & Age
Some patients carry an increased risk because of age-related or hereditary factors.
STEP 04
Constipation & Straining
Repeated pressure and irritation from constipation and excessive straining worsen anorectal health.
STEP 05
Lifestyle & Diet
Low-fiber diet, dehydration and a sedentary lifestyle affect digestive and bowel health over time.
Types of Anal Polyps
Different forms of polyps, different plans
Polyps differ in size, structure and tissue characteristics. Identifying the type guides treatment.
Inflammatory Polyps
These develop because of chronic irritation or inflammation in the rectal region. They are usually a response to underlying bowel inflammation and may resolve when the trigger is treated.
Symptoms
Signs you should not ignore
Many anal polyps stay silent at first. As the growth enlarges, the following symptoms often appear. Persistent bleeding or bowel discomfort always deserves specialist evaluation.
Repeated bleeding, mucus discharge or a feeling of a growth — book an evaluation.
