Hello all,
I recently noticed some black flakes in my stool and underwent a colonoscopy. Pathology report was largely positive with nothing seriously abnormal other than hemorrhoids. I did, however, have a medium-sized adenoma polyp. Dr wants me to have another Colonoscopy in 5 years. I understand adenoma polyps are not cancerous but are considered precancerous. From my understanding it seems like as long as I have these polyps removed every 5ish years (assuming they keep growing back) there is not much to worry about. Is this correct reasoning or should I be more worried?
