The doctor diagnosed me with a small polyp in the rectum. He said it needs to be operated on. I'd have to be hospitalized, then go on sick leave. I don't have that kind of huge money for the surgery, and I can't just lie at home for 2 months while everything heals and resolves. Who will work instead of me, and what will I live on? What should I do? Can I not operate on this polyp? Or is it mandatory? Please advise, anyone who has been through this!!!
Polyps should be removed in any case, as they have the potential to develop into malignant tumors.

Polyps can be removed endoscopically, and then they are sent for histology. If nothing is found, you can live peacefully afterward... They are removed through the rectum with a colonoscope that has a special loop at the end, and that's it... Why surgery? Or are yours of some incredible size? Go see another doctor; maybe there are other methods? Read some links on the internet...

What does it mean to remove endoscopically?

So they'll give you a good sedative, possibly anesthesia, insert a special device into the anus, and remove the polyp. Basically, it's a kind of surgery with minimal trauma. You'll recover in about a week. After that, you'll just need to follow a diet for a while. I had my liver operated on with an endoscope. The only reminders of the surgery are four tiny scars, each up to 1 cm in size. Sometimes they even do it through just one puncture. And in your case, they probably won't even cut you open since it's in the rectum. They'll do it through the anus, and that's it.

I spent a total of two weeks in the hospital for the surgery, and even then, I waited a week for the actual operation because they had to reduce the inflammation after the attack.

My mom recently had a polyp removed. Two hours later, she was already back at her desk. She wasn't even admitted to the hospital. They scheduled a time, she came in, they administered anesthesia, and removed it. Her sister waited for her, then they went to a restaurant, and afterward, she went to work. No special diet was prescribed. That's it. Well, maybe you shouldn't rush back to work immediately, but two months in the hospital is just nonsense. A week later, my mom went to get the test results—they analyze the polyp for cancer cells—everything was fine. It's absolutely necessary to remove the polyp.
By the way, calling this a surgery is a bit of a stretch. You won't have a scar—it's done through the anus. You definitely won't have to struggle with bathroom issues or special diets. Who scared you like that?

But if you leave the polyp, by the time you reach a more mature age, you won't be able to live without an enema—that's 100% certain.

It must be treated, otherwise the stool could damage it, causing bleeding and possibly blood poisoning. It is treated endoscopically. A diet is necessary afterward because if you don’t have loose stools, there will be pain. Usually, patients stay for 10 days. Nowadays, they don’t keep you in the hospital longer.

I was discharged from the hospital the other day!! Had a polyp removed! I was more nervous and prepared for it than the actual surgery lasted! After the surgery, I stayed in the hospital for 10 days and will be at home for another 10 days, as the doctor said! Happy as a clam!!! The suffering with bowel movements is over! Make the decision and live peacefully! Of course, I need to follow a diet until the stitches in the rectum heal!!!

And there are different types of procedures!!! Some people just get it cauterized, some have it cut out, and others get it done with a laser! It really depends on your polyp! So it's not surprising at all that the comments vary((

I had a polyp removed from my rectum in just 5 minutes under local anesthesia (completely painless). At Hospital 31, the doctor was Valery Mikhailovich Rusinovich. I recommend it to everyone—quick and painless. It was simply amazing—all my fears were unnecessary. Highly recommended, Maria.

I also had occasional bleeding—I thought it was hemorrhoids, but then I read online that it could be a sign of cancer and rushed to the hospital. They discovered a polyp. I read up again: the only solution is removal, but before that, it's essential to check with a colonoscopy if there are polyps in the colon as well. I've done everything now, and surgery is scheduled, but I decided to look for something unconventional. And I found it. Malakhov suggests enemas with concentrated urine, promising that polyps will soon fall off. I'll postpone the surgery and give it a try: anything is better than being cut open or risking cancer. No harm in trying...

Yesterday I had a polyp removed. Under local anesthesia. I came in, lay down on the couch, legs on supports, like on a gynecological chair. They gave a couple of injections in the perianal area. The pain in that area is much less than from an injection, for example, in the gum during dental treatment. It was removed with Surgitron (radio wave). A slight sensation of warmth inside, a bit hot, a bit warmer. The only unpleasant part was when they inserted the speculum, the anoscope, and that metal touched the mucous membrane and kind of stretched it... Everything else was nothing. 15 minutes. I got up, sat for a bit as the doctor recommended, and went home. This morning I woke up. Absolutely no pain or discomfort at all. My polyp stayed at the hospital (they showed me a 1 cm piece) along with 8,300 rubles. But I'm happy and free, and now I'll live without it)))
Lana, I've scheduled the same Surgitron procedure for May 15th, and I'm absolutely terrified. How are you doing? But after reading your letter, I feel a bit better)))

They found polyps in my father's rectum. He is 70 years old and had a stroke. The symptom was prolonged diarrhea. Can polyps be removed given his health condition? I mean regarding anesthesia. Please answer if you know.
And I was diagnosed with this: an anal canal polyp, and I'm being referred for surgery. Currently, my symptoms include discomfort in the anus, a bit of itching, as if something is in the way. After the polyp removal surgery, do these symptoms go away? Has anyone else experienced this?

I had an anal canal polyp removed by ligation. It was unpleasant, but still not a surgery, and it's not expensive either (up to 100 USD), while surgery is more costly. Modern doctors know how to remove it so that you don't have to lie flat for two weeks or faint during bowel movements))) Consult another doctor, it will give you more peace of mind.

Hello everyone! I want to share my story. This Friday, I had a polyp removed at Hospital 24, and it was FREE! To do this, you need to get tests like a complete blood count and biochemistry, an abdominal ultrasound, a gastroscopy, a colonoscopy, a fluorography, and blood tests for Rh factor, HIV, and hepatitis. All these tests can also be done for FREE at the clinic. Of course, you'll have to run around a bit—it took me a month to collect all the tests—and keep in mind they are valid for a short time, so after getting the results, run to the hospital! I also want to add about Hospital 24—it's the best I've ever seen! The doctors are very knowledgeable, responsive, and experienced. My surgery was painless, the food is good—for example, they served salmon for dinner—and the rooms are like in a sanatorium: double occupancy, with a refrigerator, wardrobe, toilet, and shower! The doctors told me that after polyp removal, bleeding usually occurs on the 3rd or 4th day. Today is the third day, and thankfully, everything is fine! Regarding the diet, I was told not to eat vegetables, fruits, or bread for three days, then I can return to my normal eating routine. If you're preparing for a colonoscopy, they'll likely tell you to drink FORTRANS! They prescribe it because it's more expensive. I've had a colonoscopy twice—the first time I drank LAVACOL, 3 liters of solution. It's better to take that one; it's nasty, but at least it doesn't make you vomit compared to FORTRANS! Plus, with Fortrans, you have to drink 4 liters. I couldn't drink all 4—I only managed two before I started vomiting. I warned the doctor before the surgery, so he didn't give me an additional enema. I weigh 54 kg. So, dear readers, everything I wrote above is what I experienced, and I advise everyone to remove polyps as soon as they're detected!

I constantly suffered from constipation and incomplete bowel movements, occasionally diarrhea, and there was always a soreness in the stomach area. There were relatives in the family with rectal cancer, so I went for a colonoscopy. During the examination, two polyps were found in the colon and one in the rectum. The doctor suggested removing them immediately, and I agreed, paying 10,500. The polyps were sent for histology, and the results will be available around June 16. I went straight back to work, and in the evening, there was slight pain. Now I'm on a diet, avoiding fried foods, candies, and pastries. I eat chicken, drink juices, have soup, and also eat a handful of dried apricots and prunes every day. My bowel movements are normal, and that unpleasant soreness in the abdomen has disappeared. We'll see what happens next. It's amazing how these small growths can cause such discomfort in the intestines.
They told me to have a colonoscopy again in a year, and now it's like that every year. They didn't give any special recommendations, only to normalize bowel movements so it becomes a habit to empty the intestines every day at the same time. Diet: eat small, frequent meals and avoid products with various chemical additives and GMOs.

The day before the colonoscopy, I drank a liter of Fortrans in the morning, then another liter in the evening—I couldn’t manage more. Later, before bed, I did an enema with 1.5 liters of water. In the morning, I did three enemas in a row. I wasn’t sure if my intestines were clean, but it was fine—the doctor examined everything thoroughly. It was done awake, without anesthesia, and it was very painful. If you have the option for anesthesia, I’d recommend taking it. Maybe our doctor is just that harsh, I don’t know, but I was screaming from the pain. Still, I don’t regret it—15 minutes of agony is worth it to know the truth.

Tell me, if a polyp was detected about 6 years ago. The woman is 62 years old (now), of course, there are problems with bowel movements and abdominal pain (it gets better when she takes Tremidat). Can the polyp be removed now (I couldn't convince her earlier, I'm such a bad daughter), and what are the consequences? Thank you.

Today I had a polyp removed. It was discovered during a colonoscopy. Don't be afraid—it's better to remove it early before more serious problems arise, which is possible. It's absolutely painless, just a bit uncomfortable, and overall tolerable. After the procedure, I was allowed to go home in 2–3 hours. I drove myself home. That's it!!! Wishing everyone good luck!

This is done painlessly through the rectum. Using an endoscope, a loop is placed over the polyp and tightened like a noose, then the polyp is detached. After that, you can go home or to work. The bleeding stops, and that's it. You can eat after two hours.

Just got back from the proctologist. A private clinic, 18,000 rubles for removal and treatment of fissures. They provided all the ointments and pills. It's been two hours since the "surgery," and I feel fine. The doctor said it might hurt for two days. Everything was done using a new technology with radio waves and something else. The procedure itself took 10–15 minutes.

The colonoscopy was performed on July 28. It was done under sedation (asleep). I remember the anesthesiologist asked if I had any allergic reactions to sleeping medication, I said no, then the anesthesiologist (already in another room for some reason) handed me my clothes and suggested I get dressed. I can't say where I was for about 45 minutes, but that's when the diagnostic procedure took place. A 6 mm polyp was found 10 cm from the anus and was completely removed. Unfortunately, no one gave me any dietary recommendations afterward—the doctors themselves, after handing me the report, immediately left for lunch.
