How DPC Can Help With Polypectomy

Polypectomy and Direct Primary Care (DPC): Precision, Prevention, Personalized Care

If polyps in the colon or uterus are causing bleeding, pain, or cancer risks, a polypectomy can safely remove them. DPC makes sure that your procedure goes smoothly, is affordable, and is right for your health.

What is Polypectomy? Getting rid of abnormal growths

During an endoscopy or hysteroscopy, a polypectomy removes growths that are not cancerous or that could become cancerous. Some common types are:

• Colon polyps are adenomas that could turn into cancer.
• Uterine polyps: Frequently result in abnormal bleeding.
• Nasal polyps: Making chronic sinusitis worse.

Important facts:

• Uses: Stops cancer, gets rid of symptoms, and helps with fertility.
• Safety: There are few complications (for example, there is less than a 1% chance of perforation during a colonoscopy).
• Costs: DPC memberships (75–200 USD/month) include scopes and follow-ups, which is different from traditional fees (1,500–5,000 USD/procedure).

If you don't treat polyps, they can lead to:

• Cancer, anemia, and infertility.

How DPC Makes Better Results of Polypectomy

Direct Primary Care (DPC) changes how polyps are treated by making coordination easier and putting patients first.

Complete Getting Ready for the Procedure

• Quick scheduling: Traditionally, you would have to wait 3 months or more to get a colonoscopy or hysteroscopy.
• Improving bowel prep: Customized laxative plans to enhance visualization.
• Managing medications: Change the dose of blood thinners or NSAIDs to lower the risk of bleeding.

Clear pricing and support for the whole person

• Care that includes everything: Membership includes fees for scopes, pathology, and post-op checks.
• Savings on costs: Self-pay DPC rates can save you 30–50% on facility fees.
• Advice on what to eat: Make meal plans that are high in fiber or anti-inflammatory to stop it from coming back.

Personalized Recovery and Prevention

• Access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: Tell someone right away if you have stomach pain, a fever, or heavy bleeding.
• Follow-ups online: Look over the biopsy results through telehealth within 48 hours.
• Planning for surveillance: Set different screening times in the future based on the type of polyp (for example, 3–5 years for adenomas).

Advantages of DPC for Patients Undergoing Polypectomy

• No waiting times: Within ten days of being referred, 90% of DPC patients get scopes.
• Continuity: One team takes care of all GI, OB/GYN, or ENT follow-ups.
• No bills that come as a surprise: Prices that are clear (for example, 1,200 USD for a colonoscopy and polypectomy).

Success Stories from Real Life

• Case 1: Sam, 52, has more than one adenoma. Sam's DPC team took out five polyps that could have turned into cancer, which stopped colorectal cancer.
• Case 2: Leila, 38, has uterine polyps in Case 2. Leila's DPC provider did a hysteroscopic polypectomy, which made her able to have children again.

Questions and Answers: DPC polypectomy

• Q: How long after the procedure can I eat?
  • A: Start eating light meals again right away, and don't drink alcohol for 24 hours.
• Q: Will polyps come back?
  • A: There is a 30–60% chance of the disease coming back. DPC makes plans to stop it from happening again, such as giving aspirin therapy.
• Q: Do the fees for sedation include?
  • A: Yes. DPC covers moderate sedation or anesthesia.
• Q: Can I drive home after the operation?
  • A: No—get a ride; it takes 4–6 hours for the sedation to wear off.

What makes DPC great at preventive care

The US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer stresses the importance of regular checkups. DPC delivers by:

• Increasing compliance: 80% of DPC patients finish follow-up scopes, while only 50% of people in the U.S. do.
• Cutting costs: Members save between 1,000 USD and 4,000 USD by paying for everything at once.
• How to stop cancer: Removing polyps early lowers the risk of colorectal cancer by 90%.
