Colonoscopy results (Classy, I am.)

SPECIMEN SUBMITTED: GI BX (1 JAR)

12/13/2011	12/13/2011	12/20/2011	DR. J. GOLDSMITH/ttl

DIAGNOSIS: 

 Sigmoid polyp, polypectomy:  Fragments of adenoma.

Clinical: Left lower quadrant pain.  Abdominal bloating.

Is one's risk of having colon cancer increased by having had an adenoma?

An individual's risk of colon cancer is approximately double the general population once an adenomatous polyp is found. This individual's risk of developing colon cancer can be significantly reduced by removing the polyp and any future polyps.

Hawt.

Still doesn't explain the pain.  But.  There's this.
