Polypectomy is a medical procedure performed to remove polyps, abnormal tissue growths, from various parts of the body. Polyps most commonly occur in the colon, stomach, nasal cavity, uterus, or gallbladder. While many polyps are benign, some may develop into cancer if left untreated. The primary goal of polypectomy is to remove polyps safely, relieve symptoms, and prevent malignant transformation. Most polypectomies are minimally invasive and performed using endoscopic or hysteroscopic techniques.
VivaVel Health assists international patients in accessing advanced polypectomy procedures in India, ensuring accurate diagnosis, skilled specialists, and seamless medical tourism support.
Symptoms vary depending on the location of the polyp and may include:
Rectal bleeding or blood in stool
Changes in bowel habits
Abdominal pain or bloating
Nasal obstruction or sinus pressure
Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
Difficulty breathing through the nose
Anemia due to chronic blood loss
Often asymptomatic and found during routine screening
Polyps may develop due to:
Chronic inflammation
Genetic predisposition
Hormonal imbalance (uterine polyps)
