I had a polyp removed in April 2014. My only symptom was minor intermittent blood streaking on hard stools. After 14 months of ignoring it I finally had a scope. I was one month shy of 27 years old.
The colonoscopy found a 10mm polyp on a very short stalk at the 15cm mark classifying it as my sigmoid colon. The polio was smooth and very round. I was told by my doctor it was most likely totally benign from gross appearance.
The pathology report is short and sweet. It says the polyp was actually 7mm, hyperplastic, no dysphasia, and focal mucosal ulceration with repair?
Even thought this was almost 4 years ago I still wonder about that pathology. I thought hyperplastic polyps were small and more sessile? And what does the ulcertaion with
repair mean?
I was told I do not need another colonoscopy for 10 years however I am very nervous to wait that long. I keep thinking pathology could have been wrong and classified it as hyperplastic but it was more serious?
Any insight?
