Colonoscopy: He might have had a colonoscopy and polyp snare removal. This procedure is great to maintain health. If left alone those polyps can change into colon cancer. Make sure to take him back to get the pathology report on the polyps. It is recommended to get your first colonoscopy at age 50. Sooner if family have colon cancer. Be well.
