Colonic polyps, also known as colorectal polyps, are growths that appear on the surface of the colon. The colon, or large intestine, is a long hollow tube at the bottom of the digestive tract. It’s where the body makes and stores stool.
In most cases, polyps don’t cause symptoms and are usually found on routine colon cancer screening exams. However, if you do experience symptoms, they may include:
Polyps in the colon can vary in size and number. There are three types of colon polyps:
Doctors don’t know the exact cause of colonic polyps, but polyps result from abnormal tissue growth.
The body periodically develops new healthy cells to replace old cells that are damaged or no longer needed. The growth and division of new cells is usually regulated.
In some cases, however, new cells grow and divide before they’re needed. This excess growth causes polyps to form. The polyps can develop in any area of the colon.
Although the specific cause of colonic polyps isn’t known, there are certain factors that can increase your risk of developing colonic polyps. These risk factors include:
Maintaining a healthy diet can help prevent the development of colonic polyps. This includes eating more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meat.

You can further lower your risk for colonic polyps by reducing your intake of high-fat foods, red meat, and processed foods. Quitting smoking and exercising regularly are also important steps to prevent the development of colonic polyps.
