A colon polyp is a benign growth that forms in the colon. Most cause no symptoms and are found incidentally during a colonoscopy. Because some polyps can develop into colorectal cancer, the standard practice is to remove them when they are found. If you are age 40 or older, please have regular colonoscopy screenings.2026-06-26

It is also known as “hamburger disease,” a name that came from cases linked to eating undercooked hamburger patties. It occurs most often in children age 5 and younger. If these symptoms are suspected, please see a medical specialist right away.2026-06-26
