Brief Answer:
Get colonoscopy after every 5 years

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for putting your query in hcm

I can understand your concerns

Studies has shown that presence of small singular tubular adenoma with low gradw dysplasis has no subsequent risk of developing cancer.

And such person should go repeat colonoscopy after 5 to 10yrs.

However since your grandfather has been diagnosed with colon cancer then colonoscopy should be repeated after every 5 yrs.

Risk of colon cancer in you is increased by two to three fold than normal population as your grandfather has colon cancer.

Actually colon cancer has genetic predisposition which may be the reason you have got polyp at this age

Presently what you have to do is colonoscopy surveillance every 5 yearly.
Avoid high fat diet, beer, smoking, fried meat and fish. Take high fibre diet, vitamin c, d, e and carotene rich foods and yellow green cruciferous vegetables.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wiah you a good health

Regards.

Brief Answer:
yes your doctor is right

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back.

It is not like that as polyp which was found was removed.

A polyp turning into cancer depends on many factor epecially its histologic type tubular or villous, degree of dysplasia , size and number of polyps and many other factors.

Yes your doctor is right as most of the polyposis syndrome like lynch syndrome is associted with multiple number of adenoma , not single adenoma

Take Care

Brief Answer:
it can not be due to polyp

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back

Bubbly sensation under the right ribs may be due to movement of gas or liquid in the stomach or intestine or due to the peristaltic movement of the intestine itself.

Such movement dont occur with polyp

Or it may be due to anxiety also. So relax , no need to worry.

Wish you a good health
