General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What colonoscopy indicates is there is a polyp in sigmoid colon. It might be the cause for your pain as it might be having local lesions in and around the region. Hence you are getting spasms of the intestines leading to pain in the abdomen.
You can wait for 6 months as advised. Kindly take the medicatiins which would give you relief frim the problems you are facing. Do a regular follow-up with your doctor as advised.
Once the polyp matures, you can go for its removal at a later date as advised. In case it regresses by itself, you may not need surgical removal.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
