Very good evening doctors. i had a colonoscopy and the doctor did not find any serious issues and said to come back in 5 years. what symptoms could i possibly get in the next 5 years that might possibly require consideration of another colonoscopy?

The reason for periodic colonoscopy is to pick up new polyps and get them before they become cancerous. The five year interval is intended to get slow growing cancers before they get out of hand. Avoid smoking and barbecued meat and alcohol. Eat plenty of leafy greens, cauliflower & broccoli. Avoid constipation by adding psyllium fiber to the regular diet. Fried foods are not good for the body.
