A member asked:
1st colonoscopy had 14 polyps, 2 adenomas. 2 years later had colonoscopy with 6 polyps, 1 sessile serrated. had anal bleeding this year pretty sure it was hemorrhoids. is it ok to have a colonoscopy 18 months since the last one? pretty worried?

That should be fine. The precise timing depends on the pathology of the polyps that have been previously removed, and should be detailed by your gastroenterologist. You may also want to ask the G.I. doctor if you might have lynch syndrome or another genetic form of colonic polyposis. Good luck.
