Content updated on Sep 14, 2022
Colonic polyps are benign growths that appear on the inner lining of your large intestine. They have a small chance of turning malignant, or cancerous, over the next 5-15 years, hence require monitoring by a doctor.
History of having blood in the stool on testing
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose colonic polyp
Have you ever had a positive stool occult blood test?
Although polyps do not usually cause symptoms, your doctor may recommend regular screening tests such as a colonoscopy, where a tube is passed through your anus to detect changes or abnormalities in your large intestine.
