What Does This Colonoscopy Test Result Indicate?

Good Evening, Today I had a colonoscopy and these were the findings. Three 3 to 8 mm polyps at the hepatic flexure and in the ascending colon. Resected and retrieved - Diverticulosis in the sigmoid colon. - The examination was otherwise normal on direct and retroflexion views. Biopsies were taken and I will receive the results in the mail. My concerns are that I really don t remember much of what my doctor said afterward, because I was still a little woozy. I just happen to look over my Post Procedure Discharge Instructions and found the above information at the bottom of my paperwork. However; I do recall him saying that they were benign. Is there anything you can add to this. I am glad to know that my lower abdominal pain could have been coming from the polyps. I just thought that the pain was associated with a prior tubal ligation I had last year.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the polyp condition then pain might be due that only initially it can be managed symptomatically with anti-spasmodic drug else the underlying condition need to be managed, with the multiple pathologies case needs to be taken for separate conditions most of the time associated with stress too, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
I find this answer helpful
