Colorectal Polyps Prevention
The following is recommended to reduce the risk of developing polyps:
- Eat a diet low in fat and high in fruits, vegetables, and fiber
- Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol intake
- Maintain a normal body weight
People over 50 should have a colonoscopy screening, which makes earlier diagnosis and treatment possible. This can reduce the odds of developing colon cancer, or at least helps catch it in its early, most treatable stage.
Colonoscopy prevents colon cancer by removing polyps before they can become cancer.
