The best form of treatment for colon polyps is to have them removed altogether. This process happens during a colonoscopy; surgery is not necessary to remove them. Once they are gone, your physician will perform regular testing to ensure they do not return. A sample will be sent to a pathologist to check for cancerous cells after the operation. If you experience any bleeding after the removal of a polyp, contact your doctor right away.
