Why do i have to see the doctor after a colonscopy because they took out polp?

There are a few reasons why you may need to see your doctor after a colonoscopy if polyps were removed.

* To discuss the results of the procedure. Your doctor will want to review the pathology report of the polyps that were removed to determine if they were cancerous or precancerous. They will also discuss any other findings from the colonoscopy, such as diverticulitis or hemorrhoids.

* To make recommendations for follow-up care. Depending on the type and number of polyps that were removed, your doctor may recommend that you have a repeat colonoscopy in the future. They may also recommend other lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to help reduce your risk of developing colon cancer.

* To address any complications. In some cases, complications can occur after a colonoscopy, such as bleeding, infection, or perforation of the colon. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to see your doctor right away.

By following your doctor's instructions after a colonoscopy, you can help ensure that you receive the best possible care and reduce your risk of developing colon cancer.
