To determine the interval for the next colonoscopy, we need to know the number, size and type of polyps removed. Only the number of polyps is provided, so I cannot answer specifically. The size and type of polyps removed should be available at the office of the doctor who did your colonoscopy. That doctor is best to advise you on when to repeat the colonoscopy.
