Why Keep Your Colon Clean?

Whoever said that ignorance is bliss might not have been referring specifically to keeping your colon clean and unobstructed, but he or she certainly had a point.

It is a sad but true fact that most people generally don't want to know what is going on in their innards, and that might even be understandable. Unfortunately if things are not working well with your colon and your bowels, and they are gradually clogging up as a result of a poor and unbalanced diet and like of exercise, then the consequences can range from unpleasant to grave.

A blocked colon is an unpleasant thing, and a person whose colon has become blocked with a blend of undigested and indigestible grease, bacteria and all manner of toxins will be pretty unpleasant to be around. They will neither look to good and will be beset with all kinds of minor to major health complaints. These complaints can upwardly vary from bad skin, chronic diarrhea, constant and ongoing constipation with all the unpleasant side affects that that can bring.

If untreated, a blocked colon can cause a reaction in the DNA cells that may lead to cancer of the colon. Cancer of the colon is very hard to detect, and often only comes to light when it is too late and has spread to the liver and even the lungs. By that time there is not a lot that can be done except major invasive surgery known as a colostomy, which means the removal of the colon.

The implications of having a colon removed is that for the rest of the cancer sufferer's life all the waste material that his body generates is released by a tube from their bowel into a plastic bag taped to their side. Not only that, but in many cases the surgeon will want to make sure that all the cancerous cells have been removed and will opt for course in chemotherapy with all the highly unpleasant side effects that it brings.

When you consider the amount of suffering that colon cancer can bring is seems almost suicidal not to take care of these matters, to lead a healthier life and make sure that you colon is as clean as it should be and at all times. This is why a regular colon cleaning should be almost mandatory, and especially so at the beginning of a dietary campaign.

What are Colonic Polyps?

Colonic polyps are linings of mucosa which form a mushroom shape. A colonic polyp that has a stalk is known as "pendulated", and ones with no stalk are called "sessile".

Colonic polyps, as their name suggests, are found in the colon. Usually, these polyps are benign but do have the potential to become more serious and malignant if left unchecked. As always, it is important to regularly see your doctor so that problems of all kinds can be caught in the early stages.

There are four different types of polyps: metaplastic, hamartomatous, inflammatory, and neoplastic.

*Metaplastic polyps - Occur when a change of the cells of the epithelia takes place. These are a tissue overgrowth of normal mucosa and are the most common type of colonic polyp. The metaplastic variety typically do no t grow larger than 5mm and are not malignant in nature.

*Hamartomatous polyps - Growths due to faulty development which are found in organs. These are usually composed of a mixture of tissues.

*Inflammatory polyp - Associated with inflammatory conditions like Crohns disease and ulcerative colitiis.

*Neoplastic polyp - A tissue containing cells which have lost their normal differentiation. These can be both benign and malignant growths. When these occur in the bowel, they are called adenomas or tumors of glandular tissue or columnar cells. They can also be broken down even further ingo villous, tubular, or tubularvillous.

To diagnose a patient with polyps, a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy is required and they can be removed at the same time these procedures are done. Regular monitoring through colonoscopy procedures is needed to track the progress. Severe cases can be treated with colonic resection.
