Hi Doc, Thanks for the reply, is removal of polyp required or urgent? The patient does not want to have endoscopic removal, since the current situation is OK. Can we wait for few more months and get it testing again? Or do you suggest removal at the earliest? Also do they occur again after removal, is there a way to control it, kindly suggest.
1.what if that polyp is left does it grow in size causing more issues ?
2.what are the recurrence chances if it is removed ?
3.are there any risks during /post endoscopy?
