What Does The Biopsy Result Of Precancerous Cells Indicate?
My doctor did a colonoscopy and found a polyp and a red area. He removed the polyp and biopsied the red area and sent them off to labs. The results was precancerous. Does this mean that i may now have anal cancer or does this mean that i will be ok until my next visit in 3 years? Now 2 weeks after the procedure i am at another doctor that will be performing a sphincterotomy surgery for an anal fissure that he thinks is an anal fissure, hes not sure because the pain is so bad he could not look inside at my appointment. I'm really worried about the possibility of this being anal cancer and also I am worried about the surgery I've heard so many things about this surgery like incontinence and pain after surgery. I'm only 30 years old any advice or opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have colonoscopy with polyp removal and biopsy results show pre cancerous lesion. You don't have cancer so no need to worry. Just be relaxed. Your polyp is precancerous so it can convert in to cancer and it need regular follow up.
You may have anal fissures.You should go for surgery according to your doctor's advice. Pain and incontinence may occur but surgery is needed so go for it.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
