Common Questions and Answers about Colon diseases rectum polyps

colon

Avatar m tn told me that he wanted both colon and rectum removed based on 2010 colonoscopy and previous pathology reports and he was stunned that i had only been monitored every two years, he says if i don't have the surgery, i will get cancer. i guess they are worried that some of my polyps are already 10 yrs old, they just kept multiplying i guess because they were not all being taken out 10 yrs ago.
Avatar m tn I was really hoping to wake up to good news and a clean bill of health. Instead, he found 20 small polyps. My heart sank. 16 of these were in the ascending colon. I was still groggy, and I need to have a follow up visit after the biopsies come back, but he said it’s possible I may have to have that part of the colon removed somewhere down the line. Has anyone else had a problem with polyps like this? I am at the very beginning of researching this.
Avatar f tn Only my grandma, nobody else even polyps. My parents who are over 50 both got colonoscapes, neither one of them had any polyps. Diet. Colon cancer and rectal cancer may be associated with a diet low in fiber and high in fat and calories: Probably A sedentary lifestyle: Yeah, but do try to get at least a little bit of exercise each day. Diabetes: Nope Obesity: I'm only 135 pounds Smoking. I don't smoke Alcohol: I don't drink Growth hormone disorder: I don't think so.
Avatar n tn Why polyps have been grown so fast in my colon, particularly why the polyps found in the last two years all had moderate dysplasia? Does it mean that there are some demons in my digest system or in my body that have been making these pre-cancerous conditions in my colon? 2. Do I need do some further exam, such as CT, ultrasound scans or CA19-9, CEA blood tests to exlude some potential bad causes in my digest sysytem or other related part of my body?
Avatar m tn Anything out of the ordinary should be checked out by your doctor. It may just be a hemorrhoid or it may be a polyp. Did you get a colonoscopy at 50 like we're supposed to? If you did and it was clear then I would think this is a hemorrhoid, if they found any polyps...then you should see your GI doc right away. Fifty and over is when we are most likely to develop polyps, and when caught in time they are easily removed during the colonoscopy.
Avatar m tn One cannot exclude colon cancer or colon polyps as a source of the bleeding without an examination. I notice that you are 52 years old and hopefully you have had a screening colonoscopy. I would advise that you see your healthcare provider to be assessed. Hope this helps. Best, Frank Farrell, M.D.
160332 tn?1207762545 My great grandma died of colon cancer... and other colon problems run in the family, like IBS and polyps. And of course everyone in my family that has had these problems were much much older than I. I'm 27/M in great shape, I lift weights, going to college, raising my son, very busy! Anyway I have had bowel problems IBS for a long time, but I have noticed over the past year an increase in a slight amount of blood when im at the end of my "wipe".
Avatar f tn Hi, I am new in this community. I was diagnosed during my second colonoscopy with night grade dysplasia polyps (my first also had polyps but low grade dysplasia). I have a heavy family history of colon cancer. I have 3 small kids and 46 years old and I am afraid to die with cancer. I order to avoid cancer 2 options were provided to me: 1. Perform very close colonoscopies every 3 to 6 months to remove polyps 2.

Avatar n tn d for sure have a relative with adenomas in his/her young age), and goes with dozens of colonic polyps. Yet another type is Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer (HNPCC), increases the risk of colon cancer, often beginning in the 20s and 30s, but does not cause a large number of polyps. http://www.uptodate.com/patients/content/topic.do?
Avatar f tn Coloncoscopy is a process, in this a thin tube with a light and lens, called as colonoscope is inserted into the colon through the rectum. If there are any polyps, colonoscope identifies the polyps and will remove them. Just relax, after this treatment you will be 100% healthy and I added you in my prayers.
Avatar f tn Since there is blood which you can see, it is coming from the lower gut. The possible causes are hemorrhoids, rectal polyps, colon polyps, diverticulosis (outpouchings from the bowel wall), inflammatory bowel disease (IBS, Crohn's, Celiac, ulceative colitis), or dysentery. Hence all these causes need to be ruled out. . You will need to consult your gastroenterologist again. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar n tn Hi, I don't want to worry you, but do you have a history of colon cancer in your family? I ask this because we do, and the first symptom were mutliple polyps in the colon. BUT with our disease the polyps don't appear until around age 10 and through puberty. Polyps always start out benign and can, not always, turn malignant. The disease in our family is FAP, and my children were being scoped yearly for this. They were found in both my sons at ages 12 & 16, and my grandson @ 10.
Avatar f tn adenomatous (adenomas) and hyperplastic. Adenomatous polyps (adenomas) of the colon and rectum are benign (noncancerous) growths, but may be precursor lesions to colorectal cancer. The chance of having polyps is also increased in patients with a family history of colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer, including inherited disorders such as Gardner’s syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis.
Avatar f tn I had horriably constipation for 4-5 wks and just kept takeing x lax to keep myself clean and he told me there was nothing he could do becuz polyps came back normal. Thats when I seen gyn/onc. When the gyn did the rectum exam it was the worst pain I had ever felt, he had to stop. Later that day I tried to have a bowel movement (was sore and crampy feeling) it looked like a blk raison with small tadole blk clots. What should I do?
Avatar f tn I am just really worried that I may at least have some colon polyps, if not cancer, but am afraid to bring this up to my parents in case it is simply a need for more fiber. I don't know if this was a good idea, but I attempted to push my finger up my anus, and I could not even push my entire pinkie finger in without feeling like there was something in the way.
Avatar m tn So every day until my appointment I stuck my finger in to my rectum I know disgusted, but I noticed a bulge get The bulge got smaller every day until my appointment The doctor looked inside my rectum couldn't find anything wrong so he scheduled a colonoscopy. I have a cleared colonoscopy no polyps or anything fast forward to now four years later I noticed right sweat blood on the surface of my stool.

280234 tn?1532986249 I was wondering if any other young adults have been diagnosed with colon polyps? I'm a 34/f who was recently diagnosed with a 1.1 cm "Tubulovillous adenoma" during a colonoscopy (was seeing blood/mucous in stool for about 6 months). The lab report came back that it was benign, and my GI doctor said follow up with him in 3 years. From what my GI doctor told me, and what I've read about these, they are considered precancerous. Following up in 3 years makes me nervous.

Avatar n tn Polyps in the gallbladder do not generally mean cancer, unlike polyps in other organs, like the stomach or the colon. Gallbladder polyps are generally watched - depending upon size - and if they start to grow then docs might suggest more tests or further action.
Avatar n tn My surgeon has suggested laprascopic colon removal with small intestine reconnected to rectum because some of the polyps were/are pre cancerous. Is this a serious/difficult operation and how will it affect my daily habits and life style? I am 70 years old, very active, thin, and in incredibly good health except for a chance colonoscopy that found a kazillion polyps, albeit without any symptoms. What went wrong, how do polyps develop, how can I rid myself of them besides and operation?
