Enemas and Polyps

Since MY past colonoscopy (s) have been polyp and problem free, I was wondering if other frequent enema folks are finding similar results. The wife who does not partake of frequent enemas usually has a few polyps removed during her regular colonoscopy.

I know of two others like myself who enjoy frequent enemas and have found no problems during colonoscopy.

(Obviously my little mind wanders into uncharted territory when not medicated.) :-\

Looking for the meds nurse,

I take enemas and have had 3 colonscopies. The Dr. has removed a few polyps every time. That is why I have to have one every 5 years. I hate to drink that stuff. I would rather just use enemas.

I'm no doctor so please consider the following as anecdotal and nothing more.

I come from a family rife with colon cancer. Both parents and a brother died from complications of advanced colon cancer. Two of my children routinely report removal of one or more polyps during colonoscopy. My own conclusion -- we have a family thing going on.

My serious colon cleanouts range from two a year to one every two or three weeks. My first polyp removal was at age 62 (nearly 20 years ago). That was nearly 20 years ago and I'm now on a 10 year recall for colonoscopy.

Plenty of exercise, a sensible diet with plenty of Calcium and Vitamin D and an occasional thorough enema works for me.
