i didn't know that - I thought in the report -
' small fibrous anal polyp ' / 'Anal canal polyp ' / ' anal tag ' , were the same thing .
I dont know if i have both , or an anal polyp OR an anal tag.
1.Are they likely to cause seperately any other type of cancer - or any other problems ?
2. Do you think i should have it / them removed - whatever it is - i.e. both OR anal polyp OR an anal tag - or should i leave it/them alone
'Small fibrous anal polyp . He will have a barium enema . If this is normal i will write to him with result . He could have this anal tag removed . i see that he had been investigated by xxxx in 1999/2000 and was offered removal of this polyp but declined '
Bazile, have a look at the patient.co.uk site for anal polyps.
Personally, I would rather take their advice, which is to have them removed..even I'd they're not causing any symptoms...than have the small risk of them developing into cancer.
