A member asked:

2 docs wondering why colonoscopy @ 25. chronic diarreah, cramping, nausea, fatigue. polyp found waiting on biopsy.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chronic diarrhea.: Sounds like the colonoscopy was needed to explain your symptoms. The polyp is very likely benign and was an incidental finding. It is not causing your symptoms. In the absence of any other significant finding on studies or colonoscopy, you probably have diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome.

A gastroenterologist removes polyps during a colonoscopy if they are present. At that same time, can he take a biopsy of a hardened area at the prostate? Or, best to do at other time? The latter I would prefer. Can I ask the MD to wait?
