In the practice I work in, 2/3rds of all polyps we remove are the type called: Adenomatous. These are the kinds of polyps that can turn cancerous, usually as they grow bigger than 6mm. The other types are called Hyperplastic. Unless you have large, or numerous hyperplastic polyps, the risk for colon cancer is small. The adenomatous polyps can grow back, so once you are found with them, you will be asked back at least every 5 years to have another check.

I'm a nurse who has taken care of many colonoscopy sufferers. The bowel guidance is the worst aspect of the entire factor. Yes you are going to be sedated so wont observe what they're doing and there may be often no anguish related to it different then a few wind pains. Your robust household historical past and your possess polyps signifies that you can have to have steady colonoscopies someday as good as consuming a top fibre, low fats nutrition to preserve your bowel healthful. It could be very distinct for any person to have bowel melanoma at 18. Polyps are average (in general located in core elderly men and women) however can flip cancerous if they don't seem to be eliminated. Your medical professional is doing the correct factor doing a colonoscopy and biopsy early. Ill preserve my hands crossed for you!

Removal of polyps is fairly routine but to be certain they are not malignant, specimens are submitted to a pathologist for his examination of the tissue. We remove polyps to prevent problems, more than any other reason. Because of the friable nature of the polyps, they sometimes bleed and cause worry and a bit of discomfort (depending on location)...as nasal polyps cause respiratory difficulties. Most polyps are benign.

Usually this is a very simple procedure and you'll have nothing to worry about. However, watch for any large amount of bleeding or if he develops a fever. Also, make sure he is pain free. If the doctor did not prescribe something for pain, and he complains of pain, call the hospital or clinic immediately and they can call in a prescription to your pharmacy.
And as already stated, wait for the results of the biopsy, which in most cases come out normal.

Polyps can easily be benign. Don't worry until you get the results of the biopsy. Even then most colon cancer can be cured.

Probably not, but you'll have to wait for the test results before you can be sure.
