Hi all. Looking to see if anybody had anything similar. Been having bowel problems for over a year,going 5 times plus, gets thinner as the day goes on.
Been docs 3 times, never had no blood until 6 weeks ago, had it on wiping on few occasions, doc sent fit test,it came back positive. My calprotectin was normal. I finally met the criteria for a colonoscopy and was put on 2 week pathway. I went for colonoscopy they found diverticulum and 4x 4mm sessile polyps they couldn't proceed due to the rectosigmoid being very tightly angulated. they also tried a pediatric scope. They sent me for a CT colonography. They found another 4 pendunculated polyps in distal sigmoid between 5mm and 8mm they saw severe diverticulosis of my sigmoid, uncomplicated diverticulosis of the rest of the colon. Mural thickening seen throughout sigmoid colon which remains indeterminate on this study..sorry for the long post or if this is the right group, I am having another colonoscopy,with heavier sedation. l know the polyps are small, but if anybody had anything similar. Thank you in advance
