What are hard polyps?

Hard polyps, often referred to as "sessile serrated adenomas," are a type of colorectal polyp characterized by their firm texture and flat, serrated appearance. They are considered precursors to colorectal cancer and can be more challenging to detect during colonoscopy compared to other types of polyps. Due to their potential for malignancy, regular monitoring and removal are recommended. Early detection and treatment are crucial for preventing the progression to cancer.
