Colon: Mucosal eosinophils can be due many reasons like due to GERD, H pylori, food allergies, parasites in the gut and inflammatory bowl disease.  Sometimes etiology may not be identified. To give you better information more history including GI symptoms will be helpful. Furthermore your gastroenterologist is best situated to discuss your biopsy report

Question 5

in 2015 they found focal adenomatous changes should i have another colonoscopy?

Contact doctor: You will need to contact the doctor and find out what the recommendation is for your case since whether you need another one in less than 5 years will depend on the risk (family history, size and number of polyps etc).

Question 6

had colonoscopy 9 years ago, was 23 then found 1 very small adenoma, repeat scopes at 1 and 4yrs clean, now back at 5yrs should i be nervous?

NO should not: as you have the adenoma ( polyp ) removed at young age and properly followed , you must under go with out fear , and continue  the surveillance as recommended by your doctor.

Question 7

i had a colonoscopy 8 weeks ago they found a 15 mm pendulated polyp it was removed and tested it came back showing changes is benign is this ok?

Accepted Answer

Benign: Should be no problem but continue to follow up with your provider since you are under 50.

Question 8

i have what i believe is rope worm , i've had this problem for almost 3 years and i've done ova test and colonoscopy nothing was found . i'm desperate?

Accepted Answer

Not a thing: Rope worms do not exist. Relax, if you had normal tests then you don't have any real parasites either.

Question 9

i had a follow up colonoscopy after the one from a month ago had an incomplete prep. 3 polyps were removed but two more were found in the follow up in area that had none in the initial colonoscopy. could two more have grown that quickly? this worriso?

Accepted Answer

: No, polyps take years to grow. It is more likely that they were missed during the first colonoscopy, because of the poor colonic preparation. Polyps can be obscured by stool remaining in the colon when the preparation is not adequate. Good that you got them removed. Your gastroenterologist can tell you what your follow up should be depending on what type of polyps they are. Good luck.

Question 10

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.
