Removal is not mandatory, and watchful waiting with periodic colonoscopy per your doctor’s advice is perfectly reasonable.
Next Steps
Maintain a healthy lifestyle high-fiber diet, regular exercise, no smoking, limited alcohol to minimize any polyp related risks in general.
Health Tips
New persistent changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, unexplained abdominal pain, or weight loss. Report to your doctor.

You don’t need to rush removal before age 30 Focus on healthy lifestyle, fiber-rich diet, and routine follow-up If polyps grow, change, or cause symptoms → then removal is recommended
