Question
I have acute hemorrhoids, so I went to the doctor and discovered that I had rectal polyps. The doctor advised to remove the hemorrhoids, then go for laparoscopic polypectomy. My polyp is 5mm. Can I ask if I want to have an enteroscopy and surgery?

Hello! He has a 5mm rectal polyp, just need to cut the polyp through endoscopic, can cut the polyp through endoscopic before or after hemorrhoid surgery, depending on the condition of hemorrhoids, if hemorrhoid surgery is needed immediately, hemorrhoid surgery must be performed first. Laparoscopy only removes polyps, not hemorrhoids!
