Not necessarily. But with your family history you need a closer followup and possibly genetic testing

Not necessarily. It is good that you had a colonoscopy. Given your family history, you should get repeat examinations as advised by your gastroenterologist. It may be as frequent as ever 5 years, even if no more polyps are discovered. In between, you should consider getting a FIT test each year. Wish you good health!
