What is polipsis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Polyposis?: Maybe i'm missing the mark, but i wonder if you are thinking about polyposis. There is a condition called "familial polyposis" where people get hundreds of polyps (growths) in their colon. It is considered to be associated with a high risk for cancer, and it's hereditary. If this applies to your family, you may be advised to have a colonoscopy 10 years earlier than the usual 50 years of age.
