Intestinal Polyps

Comprehensive Care for Intestinal and Bowel Disorders

The small intestine and large intestine play an essential role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and normal bowel function. Disorders affecting the intestines may cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, blood in stool, weight loss, anaemia, or changes in bowel habits. Some intestinal disorders are functional and do not damage the bowel, while others may cause inflammation, ulcers, narrowing, bleeding, or long-term complications. Persistent or recurrent symptoms should be evaluated to identify the underlying cause and begin appropriate treatment. Dr. Dipankar Das provides comprehensive evaluation and management of intestinal disorders using blood and stool tests, colonoscopy, biopsy, advanced imaging, and individualized medical treatment.

What are Intestinal Polyps?

Intestinal polyps are abnormal growths arising from the inner lining of the colon or rectum. Most polyps do not cause symptoms, but certain types can gradually develop into colorectal cancer. Colonoscopy allows polyps to be detected and removed before malignant transformation occurs.
