A polyp is an abnormal growth that forms in the lining of an organ or tissue in the body.It can appear in different parts of the body, such as the colon, uterus, or nose.
Polyps can vary in shape and size, from small protrusions to larger structures. Some polyps are benign, while others may become malignant over time.
Often, polyps do not cause symptoms, but in some cases, they can cause bleeding, pain, or changes in the function of the affected organ. It is important to detect and treat polyps to prevent future complications.
