Colonic polyps are growths that form on the inner lining of the colon, and while many are harmless, some can develop into colon cancer if left untreated. In Mumbai, regular screening and early removal of polyps are strongly recommended to safeguard digestive health.
At Dr. Harshad Joshi’s clinic, advanced endoscopic procedures are used to detect and remove polyps effectively. Smaller polyps can be removed during colonoscopy, while larger or complex ones may require techniques like endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Pathological evaluation of polyps helps determine whether they are benign or precancerous, guiding further care.
Preventive care also plays a major role. Patients are encouraged to adopt a fiber-rich diet, maintain a healthy weight, and undergo routine colon cancer screening. These steps, combined with expert medical supervision, significantly reduce long-term risks.
