Small growths in the colon often go unnoticed until screening brings them to light. Dr. Harshad Joshi in Mumbai focuses on early identification and removal of colonic polyps because some polyps can gradually progress toward cancer. Timely colonoscopy helps detect these changes before they lead to serious disease.
Polyps may not produce symptoms, though some people experience bleeding, altered bowel habits or anaemia. During endoscopy, polyps can often be removed in the same sitting, reducing the need for major surgery. Regular surveillance is especially important for those with long standing ulcerative colitis or a strong family history.
Preventive screening becomes one of the most powerful tools for colon health.
