View all**User Query:** I have a pedunculated polyp in the duodenal bulb that's just over 1 cm. My doctor mentioned removal, but I'm worried about risks like bleeding or perforation during the procedure. How safe is a gastroscopy or duodenoscopy for this? Also, if I don't remove it, could it grow bigger, cause blockage, or turn cancerous? Would I eventually need major surgery if I leave it?
A duodenal bulb polyp, especially if over 1 cm, is generally recommended for removal due to the increased risk of it becoming cancerous. While gastroscopy or duodenoscopy is generally safe, there are risks like bleeding and perforation, though the likelihood is low. If left untreated, the polyp could potentially grow larger, potentially obstructing the digestive tract, and there's a chance it could become cancerous. Major surgery is less likely, but may be needed if the polyp progresses or causes complications

I'm really worried about having stones in my stomach. Can you tell me what could be causing this to happen? And if someone has this issue, are there specific foods they should eat or avoid? I'm also curious if it's okay to eat cucumbers or tomatoes. I'd really appreciate your advice on this.
Stomach stones, also known as gastroliths, typically form due to accumulation of calcium salts, bile, and other substances, often caused by factors like excessive gastric acid, bile reflux, or dietary habits; to manage stomach stones, it's recommended to eat foods that are easy to digest, such as bananas, rice, applesauce, and lean proteins, while avoiding spicy, fatty, or acidic foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, and cucumbers, which can irritate the stomach and worsen symptoms.
