Question
i was told that i had some polyps, and they need to be removed. when i go tothebathhroom for abowel movement, i am very sore.  i do have stomach crampping a lot. i would just like to know about what to expect from this procedure.
thank-you.

Answer
I can not promise you any benefit from this procedure with regards to your bowel symptoms. BUT you will get rid of polyps that may turn into cancer in the future! If I were in your shoes I would have it done as fast as possible and be happy to have the opportunity to have them removed! Good luck!
