Question : several weeks ago, I contacted you due to recurrent lower abdominal pain and diarrhea. Since then on August 9, I had a colonoscopy and upper scoping. A polyp was removed and was not remarkable. Immediately after these procedures, all symptoms stopped. I was totally free if pain and diarrhea.
However, very suddenly 3 nights ago, the pain began again. I recognized the specific pain immediately. Since then, the pain is persistent and has caused me to double over. I do not have diarrhea this time.
Do you have any idea of what is wrong

I am sorry but I closed my last correspondence before I thought of this follow-up question: Can polyps cause the symptoms I experienced previously and have returned in the past two days?
Brief Answer:
Follow up.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Definitely yes, and the main catch is that pain resembles the pain you were having at the time of the last polyp. If the nature of pain is the same, then yes, a recheck colonoscopy should be done.
Thank you.
