A member asked:
What happens if colon polyps are removed will they come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: they can come back. it depends on the type of polyp, size, genetics, if it was removed completely or in part. patients that have polyps are predisposed to get new ones, particularly if these are "adenomas". depending on these factors, your gastro doctor will determine how soon you would need a repeat exam.
