Ryan Reynolds discovers an 'extremely subtle polyp' during the medical examination!

Ryan Reynolds revealed doctors discovered an 'extremely subtle polyp' during a 'potentially life-saving' colonoscopy, after undergoing the procedure with Rob McElhenney for a new YouTube video. The Deadpool star, 45, decided to share his experience having the vital check to raise awareness for colon cancer, but joked he only agreed to publicly broadcast the procedure if McElhenney learned Welsh. 'It's a simple step that could literally, and I mean literally, save your life,' the father-of-three told viewers of the medical screening, that sees doctors examine the rectum and lower bowel for abnormalities and disease. After the 30-minute exam, Reynolds was told by his doctor that they found an 'extremely subtle polyp,' a growth of cells that typically do not cause any symptoms. Certain types of polyps can develop into cancer, meaning doctors usually recommend that they are removed. 'This was potentially life-saving for you — I'm not kidding, I'm not being overly dramatic,' Ryan's doctor told him, adding: 'This is exactly why you do this. You had no symptoms.' After removing the polyp, Ryan's doctor noted: 'You are interrupting the natural history of a disease of something of a process that could have ended up developing into cancer and causing all sorts of problems.' McElhenney couldn't help but poke fun at his pal, who joked he couldn't 'go wrong in terms of comparing' himself to Reynolds. 'They either find nothing and that means my colon was cleaner than his, or they find a polyp and it's either bigger than his, which is awesome, or it's smaller than his, which means I had less of an opportunity to have cancer — either way, I win,' he joked. While McElhenney had three polyps, he were told they 'were not a big deal.' Cheeky: Ahead of undergoing the procedure, Rob joked: 'They either find nothing and that means my colon was cleaner than his, or they find a polyp'.
