Carpet polyps, also known as "hyperplastic polyps," are a type of growth that can occur in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the colon. They are typically small, benign lesions that often have a carpet-like appearance due to their flat, broad structure. While they are not cancerous and usually do not pose a significant health risk, their presence can sometimes be associated with certain conditions, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Regular screening and monitoring are recommended to ensure they do not develop into more serious issues.

What is treatment for carpet like colon polyps?
Treatment for carpet-like colon polyps, often referred to as sessile serrated adenomas or polyps, typically involves endoscopic removal during a colonoscopy. If the polyps are deemed high-risk or if there are multiple lesions, a more aggressive approach may be warranted, which could include surveillance colonoscopies at shorter intervals. In some cases, surgical intervention might be necessary if the polyps cannot be completely removed endoscopically. Regular monitoring is essential to prevent progression to colorectal cancer.
