Colon Polyps

[@brightpurpose1869]

Just had a few polyps removed, you have such calming demeanor. Thank you for all the information.

2 precancerous polyps here after recent colo. They were small and 'not aggressive' Doc recommended 5 years until next colo.

[@Cognitoman]

Glad you caught them early that’s awesome, yeah if you get checked every 5 years you mostly like catch it early like stage 1 and worse case stage 2

My last colonoscopy showed 2 cancerous polyps, they were removed, and now I have to get more tests, more often.

[@nano2424]

How much more often?

[@MrAllan9]

@@nano2424 Not sure yet, I was getting it done every three years, my doctor said the hospital will call and schedule the appointments.

[@nano2424]

@@MrAllan9 oh okay thanks for replying.

U mean cancerous or precancerous? I just had a colonoscopy this month, had one precancerous polyp removed and will go scope again 1 year later

Thank you for this! Recently I’ve been very sick, my DR recommend for me to get a colonoscopy and endoscopy. When I did those they found a couple minor issues as well as a polyp. I am so nervous about that being I just turned 24 years old and I don’t want cancer lol. But this made me feel more comfortable with the whole process, it’s not as scary as I’m making it seem. Thank you!!!

Do u have hyperplastic polyp?

[@wethenorth6437]

I'm 58 years old and had my first colonoscopy in 2021 and also my grandfather died from colon cancer. They found 5 polyps specifically tubular adenomas except one of them had high grade dysplasia. I was recommended to get tested annually so I went in 2022 for a second colonoscopy and they found 4 small polyps and Doc was wondering why I was there so soon and seemed irritated that I was even getting checked, said come back in 3 years. It seems I'm the person who grows polyps at an annual rate so why would they recommend I wait 3 years? Given the fact that one was pre-cancerous wouldn't it be more prudent to be checked every year? I don't understand why I have to wait. Any advice would be appreciated.

Go to another doctor.

Good information! Thanks.

[@crystalanderson7522]

Excellent information. Thank you🇨🇦

[@trickydicky90]

Can polyps grow from nothing to well established colon cancer in less than 2 years since a last colonoscopy.? I guess everyone is different will be the answer, based on diet,age,health and genetic history.
