I had a Colonoscopy last week, my second one, the first one was 5 years ago, at that time I had 3 Polyps which were biopsied and was fine.  This time I had 6 and i got my results today. I have one that is a Adenomatous. I dont understand why they dont take it out before it does turn into cancer. I dont have to have another Colonoscopy for 5 years. That seems like a long time to wait when i have that kind of Polyp.  Even if it is slow growing, why  take that chance that it could turn into cancer?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for your query. I am not sure about this too. It should have been removed, especially adenamotus one. However, probably analysis didn't show malignant potential so they didn't decide to remove it. I would do colonoscopy in 2-3 years just to be sure that there is no fast growth or malignant alteration. Wish you good health. Regards.
