FAQ’S
Diagnosis is typically made through endoscopy, where a camera is used to visualize the stomach lining. Biopsies may be taken during endoscopy to determine the type of polyp and assess for malignancy.
The risk depends on the type of polyp. Hyperplastic and fundic gland polyps have a low risk, while adenomatous polyps have a higher risk of becoming cancerous, necessitating closer monitoring and potential removal.
Most gastric polyps are benign and not a cause for significant concern. However, regular monitoring and follow-up with your healthcare provider are important to ensure they do not develop into something more serious.
