3. Stomach Polyps
Stomach polyps arise on the lining of the stomach. It's rare for a polyp to develop in the stomach, and usually someone with a stomach polyp won't have any symptoms. Possible symptoms, though, could include nausea, blood in the stool or anemia.
Certain stomach medications and experiencing chronic gastritis increase an individual's risk of stomach polyps. Generally, the larger polyps are more likely to become malignant than the smaller ones.11‘Stomach Polyps.’ Mayo Clinic, 16 Jan. 2021, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/stomach-polyps/symptoms-causes/syc-20377992.
