Colorectal polyps often do not cause any symptoms and are frequently detected incidentally during routine screenings or check-ups. However, in some cases, various symptoms related to polyps, particularly intestinal polyps, may emerge. These symptoms can include:
* Rectal bleeding
* Changes in stool color (e.g., black or red stool) or visible blood in the stool
* Changes in bowel habits, such as constipation or diarrhea lasting longer than a week
* Abdominal pain or cramping
* Unexplained fatigue, shortness of breath, or symptoms of iron-deficiency anemia (due to bleeding)
