Anal Polyp
I went to a gastroenterologist and had a colonoscopy done. I was diagnosed with anal fissure and the doctor also saw a polyp in that area. He said the polyp was caused by the fissure and there was no need to remove it. I needed a second opinion on this. Should it be removed? Can it be something serious?
