Is there a way to prevent colon polyps ? is there a way to lessen chances of them being cancerous ? i had 9 polups three agressive types im worried

Family history? : Colon polyps are very common and most are benign. When they are still very small, there is no way to predict for sure which ones may become cancerous, hence they are usually removed at fhe time of screening colonoscopy and submitted for pathology examination. Individuals with hx of familial polyposis with predisposition to cancer may elect prophylactic colectomy

Colonoscopies: You have to be vigilant in getting colonoscopies yearly or every 2-3 years to follow up and ensure complete removal of new colon polyps. Unfortunately, besides frequent colonoscopies, there is not much else you can do besides eating a high fiber, low fat diet. You must have colonic adenomas, so frequent colonoscopies will decrease your risk of progression to colon cancer.
