At Wellness Studio London, we know that IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is more than just a nuisance. It can play a key role in developing colon polyps, which are outgrowths on the lining of your large intestine. These polyps can be single or multiple and come in various types — from inflammatory to hyperplastic and neoplastic forms. Worryingly, neoplastic polyps can become malignant, turning into colon cancer over time.
Small polyps usually go unnoticed. They don’t cause symptoms and are often detected accidentally during routine check-ups. However, larger polyps can ulcerate, break the intestinal wall, and cause bleeding. Even worse, 1 in 5 polyps can become cancerous if left untreated.
A major contributor to this condition is IBS. Combined with hereditary factors, poor diet, excessive animal products, low fibre intake, and constipation, IBS increases the risk of developing polyps.
Early detection is vital. Colonoscopy remains the gold standard in diagnosis. It allows doctors to examine the colon thoroughly using a flexible endoscope. If you’re over 50 — or have a family history of colon cancer — regular colonoscopies are crucial for your health.
When polyps are discovered, they need to be removed surgically. Conservative treatments don’t work. Our expert team uses advanced endoscopic equipment to remove polyps safely. The procedure involves grasping the polyp with a loop electrode and cutting it off. Doctors may remove larger polyps in sections or use electrocoagulation to cauterise the area.
