Polyps

A bowel polyp (adenoma) is a small growth that sometimes forms on the inside lining of the colon or rectum. Most develop in older people. About 1 in 4 people over the age of 50 develop at least one bowel polyp. Polyps are benign (non-cancerous) and usually cause no problems. However, sometimes a polyp bleeds and sometimes a polyp can turn cancerous.
