Hi
I'm a 38 year old male who recently discovered I have several polyps . I initially has a colosxopy at 35 due to bleeding where they found a tubulovillus andenomas about 5mm in diameter with moderate dysplasia. I was put on a surveillance plan and had a follow up colonoscopy at 38 which was about 2 weeks ago . They found another 2 flat polyps about 3mm in diameter which pathology showed to be tubular andenomas with low grade dysplasia . At this point I was getting a little concerned about genetic issues since Im fairly young . Doctor suggested sister get tested but her colonoscopy came up clean. I have no bowel cancer in the family or even history of polyps as far I know . Both mum and dad had colonoscopy in thepast which only showed diverticulosis on mum . No polyps though . Mum did eventually go on the die from a brain tumour at 67 and grandma from dad's side from breast cancer at 78 . No other cancers than I know of.
I should mention I did smoke a fair bit througjy 20s and early 30s and drink most weekends about one bottle of wine .
At this stage should I question the docs more about possible genetic issues like Lynch ? Or is this more likely a lift style issue ? Are these type of polyps of that size comon through your 30 s ?
Thanks
