Villous adenoma treatment in Bangladesh

A villous adenoma is a type of polyp that grows inside the large intestine (colon or rectum). While not always cancerous, it is considered precancerous, which means if untreated, it can turn into colorectal cancer over time. Villous adenomas are usually soft, finger-like growths and may cause bleeding, mucus discharge, or changes in bowel habits.

In Bangladesh, timely diagnosis and treatment of villous adenoma are essential to prevent serious complications. Prof. Dr. Tariq Akhtar Khan, a renowned colorectal surgeon in Bangladesh, offers specialized diagnosis and treatment to ensure the early detection and prevention of villous adenomas.
