A couple of adenomatous polyps generally means repeat in 5 years unless they were large polyps, very pre-cancerous, or there were several (more than three) in which case 3 years is recommended. The recommendations get a little fuzzier after age 75.

There's no easy way to prep the colon for a colonoscopy.
