- Precancerous polyps can pose as signs of future colon cancer; therefore it's important to remove them if found. However, what percentage of colon polyps are cancerous? Learn more about precancerous polyps at colonoscopymd.com/polyps.
What percentage of Polyps are Cancerous? This is a common question many patients ask us at the Colonoscopy Center of Excellence in Los Angeles. Listen to Dr. Siamak Tabib as he discusses some guidelines that people can follow.
Forgot to thank you Doctor. You explained this entire colonoscopy concept because noone has ever explained it so well. I do feel so much better Thx❤
Thank you for explaining this. I was just informed today that they found precancerous polyps in me. My heart dropped. I am glad I found this, because it put me at some ease.
This doctor did a wonderful job of explaining this! Thumbs up. Thank you.
yes, excellent explanation. he made it clear.
I had 6 polyps removed. Please get your colon checked, it will save your life.
What symptoms did you have
did you have bloating, constipation or lots of gases?
I'm 27 and just had colonoscopy done. They found one 2-3mm polyp. I had no symptoms, I went in for a check up on my hemorrhoids. My family doctor signed me up for a full colonoscopy which I thank her for because if I never had h, I'd never have this polyp removed.
@@EmilSosnin why ? So the doc could make 3000 bucks
I just had a colonoscopy today and they found 8 polyps one being 1.5cm and the other 7 under 1. cm. I had 2 colonoscopy in the past and and think I had 2 or 3 polyps removed in those other procedures. Why I’m looking on yt to find out if having 8 polyps were serious and most put milla meters and I’m trying to figure out compared to CM which is larger.
Fantastic job at explaining the scope of risk surrounding this topic and general process while keeping it super simple and easy to understand! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
This is helpful. I just spoke to my doctor a day after my procedure and they found 3 polyps that were benign. I was stressing out so I am glad that I followed up by watching this video just to check the information. Gosh, great information that was easy to digest and understand. Thanks.
What symptoms did you have?
I had 4. Still waiting for lab results. 😮🙏
@@danielminutilli5372did you get your results? My mom had 2 removed 2 days ago and it’s stressful waiting for the results
@@danielminutilli5372 how yours result
Beautifully explained!!!
Thank you, doctor. You've taken a load off my mind.
Thank you Doctor for the simple explanation!!
Extremely good explanation 👍🏼
Thank you for clear discussion of the topic.
you answered my question exactly, thank you...bruce
Thanks for the HOPE!!! 🙏
Great explanation
so clear many thanks
very good explain , this doctor gave a me some good news hes exelet in explaining what is a polyps thanks a lot doctor abib
GREAT INFORMATION SAID WELL
Tried to schedule a colonoscopy in Philadelphia where I live. The wait is 6 to 9 months at two hospitals. Then they say get tested. Yeh right.
What a great, clear description of polyps...
.
This was an excellent excellent explanation thank u
This was good
Great explanation easy understand.Thanks
Thank u...
Thank you once again I feel a little bit better watching this after my colonoscopy and my three polyps.
Did you ever find out anything more about your polyps?
Thousand thanks. You r gr8 Doc
And the other question is, “Since polypectomies are why a patient suffers a perforation, how much safer is it to actually leave polyps right where they are?”
Thank you
Thank you!! Thank you!! I am so grateful to be here!!! I am over 50 had a colonoscopy done and endoscopy. I did a follow-up visit to read the results and the Doctor looked at me and said you're very lucky they found polyps and removed them. He said come back in 3 years and that's exactly what I am going to do. I take health very seriously. I take it so serious, I decided to work two part time jobs instead of a long 8 hour job that doesn't a lot me to go to my doctor's appointments. My health comes first. Please don't put your health before anything, because if your is not right you won't be able to do anything anyway. Your health is your wealth have a wonderful day🥂
Glad to read your comment
Did you have symptoms of abdominal pain or maybe constipation?
Had 2 colonoscopy in the last 2 months, first one they removed 6 polyps but had to abandon the procedure due to a poor bowel prep, second colonoscopy they removed a further 7, 5 were cold snares but 2 larger ones had to be cauterised, so 13 in all. Currently awaiting results of biopsy’s which take 10 to 12 weeks. Told me I’ll need checking every 2 years
i had been in hospital last 3 days and they removed 4 polyps and im back home now save and well thanks to a colonoscophy dora
How your results of polip
I had a colonoscopy almost a year ago and the doctor told me later that he thought he removed it all but it was precancerous . I had a lot of pain after that colonoscopy and still have intermittent pain on the left side of my abdomen under my rib. Maybe I was perforated? I have another colonoscopy coming up in 4 weeks and I am sick just thinking about it. Praying so relentlesstly🙏🏽🤲🏾🌹
Did you ask this doctor if there were any complications with the procedure? And may I ask why have another one in a short time?
Thank you doctor just found out pre cancerous polyps were removed glad i went !!!
Hats off to these doctors
It's how they make big bucks. Advertising the procedure which is not without major risks.
Thank you I feel better now waiting for the pathology report after having a positive Cologuard and just getting 2 small polyps removed on my Colonoscopy Thursday along with hemmoroids.
How now the results
@@triawahyuwahyu1998 completely benign I go back in 5 years. Thanks for asking.
@@paulagabay9915does these polyps cause any symptoms? Like abdominal pain or maybe constipation
I am watching this because my mother had a colonoscopy done and had to have 7 polyps removed. Thankfully they were removed but the simple fact that they were surgically removed is what concerns me. They probably didn't even tell her how big they were because she didn't mention that detail to me. But I really pray that none of hers turn out to be cancer. We have already lost my Dad over a year ago. And the very last thing that I need is for my mother to end up with some form of colon cancer because I don't know if I can save her from all that and I don't want to lose both of my parents in such a short time. That would be devastating for me. 😓
Same here.. I lost my father due to Liver cancer in 2019, and now giant polys ( 5 cm) was found in my mom rectum.. Biopsy was done.. But we're still waiting for the result. 😔
@@Pengleng_Punga any word on the biopsy? Hope it turned out benign.
What were the results? My mom had 2 polyps removed 2 days ago and it is very stressful waiting for results
@@vortex-prays8090 how the result..the result can know how m y days
any news?@@Pengleng_Punga
I’m 38 I’ve had stomach issues for many years Today I had a lot of blood. I believe I have these pre polyps already. I have to go see someone. Thanks for the video
My husband has stomach issues also for years. He tested the stool first and it has blood. He just had a colonoscopy today and there were a few polyps. We are praying it to be benign.
@@jennyd5728can you please tell me that polyp was malignant? my husband has colon polyps we are really worried
@@jazbiaahmed the polyps were benign
@@jennyd5728 👍
Wishing you and your husband best wishes and good health!!
How about the cologuard test
I just had a colonoscopy yesterday and the doctor said he removed 1 small polyp but however his notes mentioned polyps. I’m confused about how many there actually were now. I’m praying it wasn’t cancer. I have an uncle who had colon cancer about a year or two ago and yesterday found out my grandma on moms side had polyps that were either cancer or getting ready to turn in to cancer and my mom had a polyp years ago and her two sisters and a brother also had polyps. I’m terrified something bad will come of this. It’s worried me sick about it til the pathology report comes back.
If he removed it, you should be fine. That's the point of a colonscopy. My first one 18 yrs ago found a adenomatous polyp and they removed it. That's a type of precancerous polyp or one that could possibly turn into a cancer. Removing it removes the chances of cancer. I then had one ten years after that and it was clear. Today, I had my third and they again found a tiny polyp, possibly another adenomatous one, and removed it.This is why it's important to have colonoscopies. It removed the possibility of cancer....
@@jlilly8144 these adenoma polyps cause symptoms of abdominal pain or constipation or maybe diarheaa?
@@jazbiaahmed If they were to get big enough they may cause issues but mine were under 6mm in size, very small and were removed. So I did not have any issues with them, no pain bloating or diarrhea.
@@Sporttster good 👍 best wishes for your health
Well thank you for your information I feel little bit better I had a colonoscopy today found three polyps it is going to pathology but I am glad I watch this now I feel a little bit less stressed and anxious thank you
What were the results? My mom had 2 polyps removed 2 days ago and we are waiting for the results now which is very stressful
No, I didn’t find anything about my colonoscopy result with polyps, and assuming that everything went OK other than the doctor would have called me which he never did so I am assuming that and I polyps are not an issue. Thank you for asking though.
How the results about ur polip
i just had a colonoscopy this early morning and I had a polyps . The doctor removed the polyps during the colonoscopy.. Im still 28 . I had this symptoms: abdominal pain, gas
Now how are you
How are u now friend?
How are you now..then how about the result
I’m 32 and just had a colonoscopy last Friday. They removed a 1 polyp and now I’m waiting on results. Toughest part with the waiting
@@Jedigc how long the result will know
I just had mine this morning and I’m worried i had my stomach pain in 6 years now i think and i did everything checked up except my doctor didn’t have this option
Found 1 diminutive pedunculated polyp at sigmoid colon now waiting for the result of biopsy i hope nothing serious 😢 🙏
How’re you now friend
How now friend
Don’t be scared just pray on it ! God is good ! I just had a colonoscopy and they found 1 large peduculated polyp. They removed it and now I am waiting for my results which is driving me crazy to.
@@Jedigc yes me too..howling we can know the result.the doctor taking my polyp last friday
How are you now ? My husband also has these symptoms and docs found large polyps during procedure
hes right about the risk of polyps and de sedation i walk up very bad anable to brath and my blood presure was so low that they force me to cought and breath i was choking so bad that at one point my live was at risk be sure to ask before this happens
why was your blood pressure low, ? did they explain why ?did they give you too much anesthesia..
The thing is, how do you tell it's early stage cancer and not advanced?
My father's age is 66. Colonoscopy was done to diagnose IDA . They have found 9 polyps in colon and 1 in rectum . Largest of these is 1.2 cm × 1 cm . All of these are sent for biopsy and I have to wait for 1 week for the result . Is it possible that one polyp has metastsised to creat other 9 polys ??
Every cell in my body has cancer potential.
I had my last colonoscopy at age 62.
I have done the FIT stool test every year since then.
I believe that colonoscopy is done excessively in the USA.
Yes, it saves lives.... but, rarely are the complications of the procedure talked about.
How can a procedure that saves lives be done excessively? I mean unless you do not care about living.....
@@nopressurenodiamonds5566
As I understand, other countries do not use colonoscopy as frequently but there is no higher death rate from colon cancer.
If 100,000 colonoscopy procedures are done and it saves 5 lives that is great but what is not talked about is the times the procedure causes harm....infection, perforation, sedative issues, etc.
@@ithacacomments4811 exactly well said .You are right there is risk involved --- informed consent -- dont do it FAUCI SAID SO
I put off having a colonoscopy when I should’ve had it done and now I have to have surgery because of a cancerous polyp that was found. If I had the screening at 50 instead of 57, I think I would’ve avoided this heartache I’m going through now. I would highly recommend everyone get screened. The procedure was nothing like I thought it was going to be. I worried for nothing.
I had my colonoscopy today and 1 polyp was found 4mm thank god they removed it im 35 years old
Hello, thank god that the polyp was removed. Did the doctor tell you what was the type of the polyp?
Hello, I've sent you a message
Why the doctor say
Slightly reassuring. I awakened during colonoscopy and saw a circle of polyps. One was removed and the others left. I was upset they all were not removed as I thought that was the purpose of a colonoscopy. No discussion, except to say I had "a group" then he left the recovery room, and, no follow up. He did not afford me the opportunity to ask questions.
Big bucks read the data. It's mostly about making money most docs like Fauci dont give a shit
He got his cash for his next vacation
Thank you so much doctor.... im so much relaxed now... bcs my husband is waiting for his biopy report as tge dr found abt 5mm polyp during his colonoscopy.... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi sweetie how is your husband hope all is well
@@drealove9351 hi dear... Thanks for asking me.... He is completely alright now... And the polyp was not cancerous... Thank god🙏🙏🙏
Amen!!!!!🙏🏽
You very welcome god is good!!!
I had my colonoscopy done yesterday and they removed 2 small polyps. I am waiting myself
I had a colonoscopy last January and had nine polyps and all were precancerous. Just had my annual colonoscopy and this time I had 12 polyps and 11 were precancerous. Doctor is referring me to get a genetic study. 2020 and 2021 😢
How old are you? Best wishes
Hi 👋 it's a year after you posted this. Just hoping you're doing okay.
My sigmoid polyp was removed today. Doctor gave a bottle and asked me defecation on floor to get it for biopsy. Repeated effort the polyp didn't come out from anus.I tried in home also but not seen . Doctor said..its ok if not found. I clearly seen during colonoscopy it was uprooted very easily..pls suggest me I am terrified
I just had my colonoscope 4-20-22 I had one polyp removed . Go get your colonoscope check
Hey now how r u?
@@kiranmaymahato9734 I changed my diet and eat very healthy now
@@khishjackson5872did you have any symptoms of abdominal pain or maybe constipation?
Inflammed penducluated polyp 20cms found in sigmoidoscopy ,is it curable
Was it removed and how are you doing? 20cm is huge
Hi I’m the same case as you what did your doctor told you?
Nothing done as of now ,dr told it is not that critical and can be removed after sometime
Dang I would want it out cause 20cms is big unless you mean 20mm which is still big.
i had my colonoscopy and the doc removed 2 polyps and said they were pre cancerous.. he said not worry we removed them and he wants me to get another colonoscopy in a year time is that normal?
Absolutely normal, you need to have another colonoscopy to ensure there are no new polyps.It is a common advice given to people who have higher tendency to get polyps.
Mine said to come back in 3 years .
In the mean time I am changing what I eat .
No more red meat ..
More fruits and veg.
Nature Owl same
I was told to come back in 5 years
I would do it in three months if i had to. Be thankful the Dr. said 1 year. Some doctors estimate 3 to 5 years and the anxiety would kill me by then. Glad you are being succesfully treated.
In my case, I developed an undiagnosed severe anemia that weakened my immune system so much that I got shingles . Went to the ER and was diagnosed with severe anemia which required multiple blood transfusions and iron infusion. The culprit was a bleeding colon polyp of 4 centimetres that was removed. That was 4 months ago, and I am slowly getting my strength back. Next ( second ) colonoscopy will be in one year from the first. Just a simple blood test triggered a search for the source of the bleeding, that test saved my life
Just had 20 mm polyp removed. Waiting on biopsy results. Doctor told me it’s 50/50 🤦♂️
Please keep us posted. Praying you are ok.
@@marcopiscina4848 Thank you very much. That’s very nice of you. Unfortunately, the polyp was cancerous. I’m awaiting imaging and lab appointments now. My doctor keeps telling me not to worry, but it’s easier said than done.
Try to stay positive. @@Johnny-ip4mk
This is good to know. All the more reason to skip an invasive colonsocopy and use Cologuard instead. Cologuard detects 94% of stage 1 and 2 cancers, virtually the same as colonoscopy but without the risks. Problem is that when any polyp is detected during a colonoscopy you're put on a schedule to go back every 3-5 years-even a single very small polyp.
Is that right? Does cologuard really detect cancer?
@@Hjkmaz I had a colon guard three years ago, so I was due again and I decided to do another colorguard, the first one came out fine… Well this one picked up blood I believe with DNA changes, the best thing to do is just get a colonoscopy because it did not detect mine three years ago and I had a 1 inch polyp… this was in February I go back in August to make sure that they got it all.. I’ll probably have to go every 2 to 3 years now for the rest of my life
@@giveitwhatyouvegot
How old are you?
@@Hjkmaz I had an adenoma type polyp, which is pre-cancerous, I do not have cancer I was very lucky ,do not wait ,get a colonoscopy most of the time you’re asleep and you wake up and you walk out. You don’t feel a thing
@@Hjkmaz probably older than you, you should have one by the age of 45.. if you have any symptoms with blood , diarrhea constipation, too much of it either one..you need to get it checked.. if you have symptoms like these before the age of 45 you should get it checked…. People in the 20s and 30s get colon cancer. Go on the Internet and put in 20-year-olds 30-year-olds with colon cancer stories , you will find many.
