My mom is now under the care of my Doc and is having a colonoscopy today to remove the remaining polyps. Doc said anyone with polyps should have colonscopy every 2 years. I also was told that with Crohns, if you have had disease for 8 years or more they want more frequent colonoscopies I assume every other year.
After symptoms are controlled, your treatment will focus on medicine or a combination of medicines that keeps Crohn's disease in remission. Your doctor will want to see you about every 6 months if your condition is stable. You'll be seen more often if you have flare-ups. You may have lab tests every 2 to 3 months.
