Colonoscopy Accuracy Question

I was told that polyps grow slowly, so I wonder if that is the reasoning of not recommending a colonoscopy within 12 months of each other. I was advised to have one in 2023, after a clear one with no polyps in 2020, due to a change in bowel habits. I actually had one in 2024 and it was normal.

I hope they can figure it out. Did they say if the surgery has healed?

Bless, I’m glad your second one was clear too..
No, they just said my bowel prep was good, it was a clear visual with detailed camera pics and the chance of it being incorrect was less than 2%.
But, one knows their body and I know something is amiss, whatever it is it’s affecting my bladder now too and I can’t shake off these stomach cramps and erratic toilet visits.
What’s worrying me more is that this is the second haemorrhoid op I’ve had and the bleeding is still persisting. I seemed to have healed somewhat from the second surgery and the pain is much less but everything else is the same.
What made you go for your colonoscopy? I hope you’re better knowing it’s clear?
