How to treat recurrent rectal polyps?

Question
Hello doctor,
I have had rectal polyp removed for nearly 6 months, I went back to the colonoscopy and the doctor said that the polyp grew back in another place. Can you tell me how to treat recurrent rectal polyps? Does it need to be removed and how do I stop the polyps from growing back?

Hello,
To the question “Treatment” Recurrence of rectal polyps? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The definitive treatment for rectal polyps in your case is polyp removal and follow-up after 6 months. If rectal polyps recur, you need to continue to remove polyps and follow up.
Regarding the diet for people with rectal polyps, you should limit eating grilled foods, a lot of red meat, because grilled foods have a risk of colon cancer. You can go to Vinmec hospital system nationwide to be examined, monitored and treated by a specialist doctor.
If you still have questions about recurrent rectal polyps, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
