A member asked:
Can you answer, is six colon polyps removed unusual for a 28 year old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual: Unless you have had prior polyps, family history of polyps or colon cancer, history of colitis. That being said unusual but not unheard of or rare. Be sure to follow the recommendations for follow up scope schedules from your doctor.
