Question
My son has had colon polyps in the past. Do you know if there are any treatment methods?
Answer
Colon polyps can be removed surgically and then undergo a pathological examination. For larger polyps or those with malignant potential, a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy can be used for biopsy. For broad-based or recurrent polyps, a partial colectomy may be necessary. High-positioned polyps can be removed using colonoscopy. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to treat a certain range of polyps, but the efficacy varies from person to person.
