Symptoms Of A Tubular Adenoma

Anemia

Anemia happens when there is not enough hemoglobin or healthy red blood cells in the blood. Hemoglobin is what makes red blood cells the oxygen carriers of the blood. When there is a shortage of hemoglobin, or red blood cells in general, oxygen is not sufficiently delivered to the other cells in the body. When there is significant bleeding internally or externally such as in the bowels, the body loses too much hemoglobin and becomes anemic. Because a polyp in the bowel is a projection of the mucous membranes and an abnormality, the constant friction of stool movement can cause the polyp area to become extremely inflamed. Areas of severe inflammation in the colon undergo more friction, which can make them bleed on every passing of stool. Sometimes the bleeding can go undetected by the patient, or the patient is unaware of just how much bleeding is going on in the colon from the irritated polyp. This is what would lead to hemoglobin deficiency induced anemia, or hemoglobin deficiency caused by significant bleeding.
