How often should a colonscopy be done after precancerous polyps are removed?

After the removal of precancerous polyps, it is generally recommended to have a follow-up colonoscopy in 3 to 5 years. The exact timeline can vary based on factors such as the number, size, and type of polyps removed, as well as individual risk factors. It's essential to follow your healthcare provider's specific recommendations for surveillance. Regular screenings help detect any new polyps or changes early, improving outcomes.
