Answered by Master, Doctor Hoang Duc Nam - Department of General Surgery, Vinmec Nha Trang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Do people with rectal proliferative polyps go to the doctor periodically? ", the doctor replied as follows:
Depending on the pathology results and age, it is necessary to have periodic check-ups every 6-12 months. When going to the doctor, the doctor needs to provide more information such as family factors about colorectal polyps, a history of colon cancer... In addition, the risk of cancer with disseminated rectal prolapse is generally short. Therefore, patients need to periodically evaluate whether there is a rapid growth in number, size... from there to an appropriate treatment plan.
If you still have questions about the periodic examination when having rectal proliferative polyps, you can go to a medical facility of Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
