Hello-
I have had crohns for about 13 years. I have had my colonoscopies every year, except for in 2016, my doctor let me go 2 years. I am 40 years old. Anyway, the findings today said that a segmental area of pseudopolypoid, scarred and vascular pattern decreased mucosa was found in the entire colon. I’m not exactly sure what that means. She said everything looked great and I’m in total remission. She also did chromoscopy with indigo carmine. Of course I was a bit out of it afterwards so did t get to ask that question. She said we will do another colonoscopy next year for surveillance since the risk of dysplasia must go up the longer we have the disease. I hate that word. I’m hoping that all the colonoscopies and taking my remicade, mercaptopurone and Allopurinol will help keep that away! If anyone could help with what that vascular pattern decrease means, I would appreciate it!
