Hello doctor! I had a colon polyp that was removed 6 months ago. But now it is growing again. The doctor asked me; Colon polyps grow back after 6 months of surgical removal, what to do? Is there any way to cure it completely? Does repeated regrowth and cutting of polyps cause colon cancer? I hope the doctor can help me. I would like to thank the doctor.

Hello! With the condition " Colon polyps grow back after 6 months of surgical removal, what to do?" The doctor would like to answer as follows:
Colon polyps need to be removed and laparoscopic colectomy is the most optimal method if polyps can be removed. Multiple polyps can turn cancerous so you need to closely monitor and perform endoscopic resection of new polyps.
