A member asked:
Had a colonoscopy 3 years ago and had 14 polyps, 2 were adenomas. had another colonoscopy 1 year ago and had 6 polyps. 1 was an adenoma. im losing weight now quit smoking and am eating healthy. is it possible for the amount of polyps to be even less?

Yes you can develop more polyps which then must be removed. The goal is to be free of anymore polyps over the next 5 years. Follow the recommendations from your gastroenterologist as to when you should get your colon check done next?. I would favor another Colonoscopy in 2-3 years time.
