Yes, they can. It's important to know your body and know warning signs. And it's even more important to treat your body like gold. Feed it only healthy nutrient rich foods. For more tips, please visit www.healthcarelogics.com
Not usually
What we call polyp regression has been described in the medical literature but it is extremely rare. Most polyps keep growing and need to be removed before they become cancerous.
No they need to be resected usually with a colonoscope & rarely with surgery.
