If colon or uterine polyps cause bleeding, discomfort, or cancer risks, a polypectomy removes them safely—and DPC ensures your procedure is seamless, affordable, and tailored to your health.
A polypectomy excises benign or precancerous growths during endoscopy or hysteroscopy. Common types:
Colon polyps: Adenomas with cancer potential.
Uterine polyps: Often causing irregular bleeding.
Nasal polyps: Contributing to chronic sinusitis.
Key facts:
Uses: Prevents cancer, resolves symptoms, aids fertility.
Safety: Low complication rates (e.g., <1% perforation risk in colonoscopy).
Costs: DPC memberships (75–200 USD/month) bundle scopes and follow-ups, unlike traditional fees (1,500–5,000 USD/procedure).
Risks of untreated polyps: Cancer progression, anemia, infertility.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) transforms polyp management through streamlined coordination and patient-first focus.
Comprehensive Pre-Procedure Preparation
Rapid scheduling: Book colonoscopies or hysteroscopies within 1 week vs. 3+ months traditionally.
Bowel prep optimization: Tailored laxative plans to improve visualization.
Medication management: Adjust blood thinners or NSAIDs to reduce bleeding risks.
Transparent Pricing and Holistic Support
All-inclusive care: Membership covers scopes, pathology fees, and post-op checks.
Cost savings: Save 30–50% on facility fees via self-pay DPC rates.
Dietary guidance: Create high-fiber or anti-inflammatory meal plans to prevent recurrence.
Personalized Recovery and Prevention
24/7 access: Report abdominal pain, fever, or heavy bleeding immediately.
Virtual follow-ups: Review biopsy results via telehealth within 48 hours.
Surveillance planning: Customize future screening intervals based on polyp type (e.g., 3–5 years for adenomas).
Zero wait times: 90% of DPC patients undergo scopes within 10 days of referral.
Continuity: One team manages GI, OB/GYN, or ENT follow-ups holistically.
No surprise bills: Transparent pricing (e.g., 1,200 USD all-inclusive for colonoscopy + polypectomy).
Case 1: Sam, 52, with multiple adenomas
Sam’s DPC team removed 5 precancerous polyps, preventing colorectal cancer.
Case 2: Leila, 38, with uterine polyps
Leila’s DPC provider performed hysteroscopic polypectomy, restoring fertility.
Q: How soon can I eat after the procedure?
A: Resume light meals immediately; avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
Q: Will polyps return?
A: 30–60% recurrence risk; DPC designs prevention plans (e.g., aspirin therapy).
Q: Are sedation fees included?
A: Yes—DPC covers moderate sedation or anesthesia.
Q: Can I drive home post-op?
A: No—arrange a ride; sedation requires 4–6 hours to wear off.
The US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer emphasizes timely surveillance. DPC delivers by:
Boosting compliance: 80% of DPC patients complete follow-up scopes vs. 50% nationally.
Reducing costs: Members save 1,000–4,000 USD through bundled pricing.
Preventing cancer: Early polyp removal cuts colorectal cancer risk by 90%.
A polypectomy in DPC isn’t just about cutting out growths—it’s about partnering with a team committed to your long-term wellness. With DPC, bypass referral delays, access top specialists, and gain a prevention plan that evolves with your health. From prep to pathology, experience care that’s as proactive as it is precise.
