What to Do If Colon Polyps Recur 6 Months After Surgical Removal?

Question:

Hello Doctor, I had a colon polyp removed 6 months ago, but it has grown back. What should I do if colon polyps recur 6 months after surgical removal? Is there a way to treat them permanently? Will recurrent polyps and repeated removal increase the risk of colon cancer? I look forward to your advice. Thank you, doctor.

Hello! Regarding your concern about "What to do if Colon polyps recurring 6 months after surgical removal," I would like to provide the following explanation:

Colon polyps should be removed, and laparoscopic polypectomy is the most effective method if the polyps can be excised. Multiple polyps have the potential to develop into cancer, so it is essential to monitor closely and remove new polyps through endoscopy as they appear.
