Does anyone have experience with colon polyps?

[Hash87677]

How would you know if you have colon polyps

[Neecie1980 in reply to Hash87677]

From a colonoscopy.

[Hash87677 in reply to Hash87677]

I mean symptoms

[Viklou in reply to Hash87677]

They don't have symptoms usually. Many people have polyps without knowing

I'm 17 years old and I'm scared I have polyps my life is so stress

[Viklou in reply to Hash87677]

Do you have polyps? If you have they're simple to remove. If not why are you scared. Sorry but can't figure out if you have them or not. If you have chances are at your age they're nothing to worry about. I think you need to speak to someone about your anxiety as I feel this needs addressing as it's no good worrying about something you don't know you have. This will make any bowel issues much worse

So I was diagnosed with ibs like 3 months ago and then I start having conspitation and loose stools which make me think I might have some polyps in there and the dr say that I dont. I have had blood test stool test and also ultrasound all clear. But when I take psyllium husk my stool is bulk. That why I'm really scared that I might have polyps.

[Viklou in reply to Hash87677]

Psyllium does bulk your stools. Seriously though you need to stop worrying about things you don't know you have. If all tests are clear your anxiety will be causing your guts to be off. Honestly when you have polyps you don't know you have them. Lots of people have them without knowing. Trust me address your diet too. This will all help

I have never seen blood in my stools but Idk why I have this fear of the c word.

Polyps take years to develop-chances are you really only have ibs. Ask gp for a Colonoscopy if yr that worried but start taking out certain food groups to pinpoint what causes an ibs flare. Bread, then Dairy, then fizzy drink/alcohol etc. Mine was dairy .. i am 100% better and I failed a FIT test, has a colonoscopy and found only diverticula disease no polpys, no cancer .. stop stressing x

Your simptons are more likely to be caused by a food intolerance or/and stress. I had two polyps remooved during coloscopy. I had no symptoms and their remooval made no differance. Im now awaiting tests for BAM. Bile acid malabsortion.
