Your Questions About Polyps

Helen asks…

Polyps????

What causes cervical polyps? I had a LEEP procedure done to remove polyps in Feb of 07 but then in Nov 07 I went back to the doctor after experiencing severe bleeding during sex & she said I had more cervical polyps but didn’t request another LEEP procedure. I’m starting to think that I might have cervical polyps again cause I’m experiencing some of the same things. What causes cervical polyps? Are they dangerous? Will they continue to develop? Is this something that could have been prevented?

Jill answers:

What causes cervical polyps?
***The cause of cervical polyps is not completely understood. They may be associated with chronic inflammation, an abnormal response to increased levels of estrogen, or clogged cervical blood vessels.

Are they dangerous?
***Although most cervical polyps are non-cancerous ( benign), the removed tissue should be sent to a laboratory for further examination.Some cervical cancers may first appear as a polyp.

Will they continue to develop?
***Typically, polyps are benign and easily removed. Regrowth of polyps is uncommon.

Is this something that could have been prevented?
***Infections should always be treated in a timely manner.

What can be done to prevent the condition?
Little can be done to prevent cervical polyps. Routine pelvic exams may decrease the risk of cancer of the cervix developing from the polyp.

polyps,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,?

I’m 23 years old, I just had a Sigmodoscopy and the doctor found a tiny polyp in my colon, am I considered young to have polyps?

Jill answers:

Polyps are usually benign lumps that are easily removed. Did the dr seem concerned? Was there a condition dr was concerned about to have him give you an exam? It’s usually given over the age of 50. You can get polyps at any age.

Sharon asks…

How much light is needed to have polyps or corals in a salt water fish tank?

I’m thinking of buying a new light fixture for my 20 gallon long fish tank. I would like to get polyps and corals, but I heard they need very high lighting. The fixture is 60 watts, so it’s 3 watts per gallon in my tank. I heard in some places that 3 watts per gallon is fine, and in other places they strongly disagree. I would really like it if someone has had a tank with 3 watts per gallon with corals or polyps would respond to this question. If possible, i would like to know what other inverts I would or wouldn’t be able to get with my fixture. Thanks.

Jill answers:

Before you rush out and buy all kinds of suff, figure out what kind of coral you want. Corals vary with lighting requirements. Some can survive well with normal lighting while others need UV lighting. Drop the watts per gallon stuff. It doesn’t work. Tall tanks vs. Short long tanks of the same size do not get the same lighting from top to bottom therefore cannot have the same wattage per gallon. I have corals and pollyps in one of my 30 gals with no special light but what it came with more than 30 years ago and they are doing fine. However, the corals and anemone that are in that tank are not particulars on light.

To try to tell you what to get and not to get is difficult since you don’t know what kind of coral you want to get. You either have to build around your fish, around your corals or your inverts. I am going to assume you have fish. Build around them since some fish eat certain corals. This is the same with inverts. What fish do you have? Do you have an idea of what coral you would like to have? You may want to research your coral vs. Lighting requirements for that type. Make sure they are compatable with your fish. Usually they will list the corals which are compatable as well as with friendly fish.

As far as your fixture goes, that depends on the fixture. They now sell bulbs which mimic certain lighting. Your local fish store should have them in stock. Again, you have to start with your fish.
Good luck.

Betty asks…

What do polyps in your stomach and colon mean?

I have 3 polyps in my stomach and one in my colon that is enveloped by something unidentifiable per my doctor. All have been biopsied and sent off but I have to wait more than 2 months to see my doctor again. I’m worried about this long wait and it being cancer.

Jill answers:

They are little growths, like pouches, but they are not diverticulitis. They are fairly common, and can not be avoided, except by a vigorous fiber intake. They can be snipped out using a scope with camera, and scissors.
