A member asked:
Is it serious to have 5 polyps removed during a colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
