Dear Sir/Madam,

We extend our sincere gratitude for choosing Pantai Hospital Malaysia for your healthcare requirements.

We appreciate your proactive approach in seeking clarification regarding the recommended interval for follow-up colonoscopy (scoping).

In general, the recommended frequency of surveillance colonoscopy depends on several factors, including:

• The number of polyps previously removed

• The size and type (histology) of the polyps

• Whether any advanced or high-risk features were present

• Your overall risk profile and medical history

For many patients with a history of polyps, follow-up colonoscopy may be advised every 3 to 5 years. However, patients with higher-risk findings may require a repeat scope at a shorter interval. 

Since each case is unique, we recommend consulting our specialist, who can assess your situation and suggest the most suitable timeline for you
