Five occupations are predisposed to intestinal polyps! There are no symptoms in early stages! Beware that the “adenomatous type” is most susceptible to becoming cancerous.

The five occupations most likely to develop intestinal polyps are software engineers, marketing planners, civil servants, medical and nursing personnel and construction workers, according to a survey done by the Formosa Cancer Foundation surgery on over 30,000 people aged 25 to 59. Not only are these problems the outcome of unhealthy behavior, but they are also often preventable.

Intestinal polyps produce no significant symptoms in the early stages and most people discover them only after a health examination. When polyps grow to be larger than 1cm and obstruct the intestines or become cancerous, abnormalities appear. The most common symptoms include constipation, thinning of the stool, a bloated stomach, blood in the stools, abdominal pain and so on.

As a result, doctors remind everyone that people over the age of 40 who have a family history of colorectal cancer should have endoscopic examinations on a regular basis to ensure early detection and treatment.
