Polyps are more rare in the lung than in other organs in the body; in fact, a doctor may well dissent with your view that a lung can have a polyp at all. Abnormal tissue growths that project from a mucous membrane, polyps more commonly affect the colorectal passageway and can cause cancerous growth.
They can either grow directly from the wall of an organ tissue (the term for these is ‘sessile’) or are attached to it by a stalk in a ‘pedunculated’ manner. They can very easily be removed, though. In the lungs, it is more likely that premalignant tissue takes the form of scaly metaplasic plate-like cells with irregular shapes, which can invade the underlying tissue.
In any case, if you are sure it is a polyp then consult a physician who can give you professional guidance on the matter. It could well be that it is cancerous growth and, if malignant, would be a grievous matter, so the quicker you act on the complaint, the better. In general terms, polyps can cause cystic fibrosis by making breathing difficult due to the blocking of nasal cavities, and their immediate removal is strongly advised. Other symptoms of colorectal polyps include rectal bleeding and bloody stools, which contributes to nausea and fatigue.
