If the prefixes are compatible, any word - not just medical - can have more than one prefix. In medicine, there are prefixes used for the different systems of the body, others used for the different organs, and many others for a vast array of things.

One example of a medical word with multiple prefixes is Mononeuropathy, meaning damage to or disease of a single nerve or nerve group.
