A benign (non-cancerous) growth of glandular cells- the tissues that produce hormones and other secretions is known as an adenoma. Even though adenoma is not malignant growth, which is gradually developmental, it may result in hormonal disorders or the inability of the normal functioning of the organs, in case of its untreated existence.
These are dependent symptoms that depend on the location of the adenoma. You may experience:

Yes. Villous adenoma has a great chance of malignant transformation relative to other polyps; therefore, to prevent the occurrence of cancer, the adenoma is the supposed to be diagnosed and resected at an early age.
The follow-up time frame of colonoscopy is between 3 and 5 years, as per the count, dimension and morphology of excised colon polyps. The gastroenterologist will be given a decent schedule.
However, even though toxic thyroid adenoma is a benign tumor; it can cause hyperthyroidism, consequently, in the cases where the condition goes undetected, the results are palpitations, decrease in weight, and heat intolerance.

Low-fat high-fiber food; exercise; dropping smoking; and maintaining a current contact with regular screening tests like a colonoscopy so that you can minimize your chance of adenoma.
The large thyroid adenoma may be presented in the neck in form of a lump, pain, and difficulty in swallowing. Only with the help of ultrasound it is possible to disclose small nodules (not always, though).
A ultrasound examination of thyroid nodules size and character are commonly preceded by blood tests of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid hormones (T3/T4).
Refer to a gastroenterologist when the pain in the abdomen persists, there is blood in the stool, unexplainable weight loss, or when a family has a history of colon polyps or thyroid nodules. A check in early will translate into better affairs.
