Question 2

4. polypa were found during colonoscopy.what is next?

Accepted Answer

What kind?: Depends on the type of polyp found, their size, family history and pathology result if biopsied.  If benign, flat, small, nothing.  May need earlier repeat colonoscopy, usually in 3 to 5 years as opposed to 10.

Question 3

what happens during a virtual colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Virtual: You are in a cat scanner, with air and sometimes contrast pumped into you. Unpleasant and not as accurate as a regular colonoscopy. Also, if something is found, youmwill need a colonoscopy anyway.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Yes: During colonoscopy, if suspicious polyps are seen, they are removed. Histology is the only sure way of knowing if it is a benign or adenomatous polyp.

Question 5

can i eat clear gummy bears during colonoscopy prep?

Accepted Answer

Colonoscopy: If you were advised not to eat during your colonoscopy prep then I would avoid the clear gummy bears. You want to have your colon as cleaned out as possible for your procedure. Take care.

Question 6

is it serious to have 5 polyps removed during a colonoscopy?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on the type of polyps. Be sure to follow up and find out what the pathology report said. Tubular adenoma is a pre-cancerous polyp and would indicate a righer risk for developing colon cancer. Follow up as directed by the doctor.

Accepted Answer

Rarely: With adequate sedation patients generally have no discomfort.

Question 8

Question 9

Accepted Answer

No: Your spleen would not be seen during colonoscopy.

Question 10

: Nothing solid by mouth is the typical colonoscopy prep. You can drink clear juice and water, and suck on jolly ranchers candy/non fruit popsicles but nothing that you chew and swallow, and nothing that is not clear.
