Hello. Thanks for your video. I'm almost 58, and I think I have some concerning symptoms. I'm going to make an appointment with a doctor to check me. Thanks again.

[@svenkat2006]

how it was diagnosed, through CT scan?

[@madrasaseries]

@@svenkat2006 usually pet scan

[@svenkat2006]

They pass colonoscope through anus, rectum, colon, caecum. If endoscopy also done at same time, it will be passed through mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, duodenum. Still there is large portion of small intestines like jejunum and ileum which together comprise about 20ft portion is not analyzed. Some people might have cancer in this part. Is it constant pain or not continuous pain.

[@franklin1617]

Actually you can get both procedures done but not at the same time. People in their 20's are not excluded from the procedures. People fall ill at all ages.

[@svenkat2006]

@@franklin1617 I got both at the same time, this saves time and preparation. They said typically it takes 20 min for colonoscopy and 10 min for endoscopy. But in public health care like in Canada, doctors do not order tests unless our doctor is good so she prescribed both at same time.

[@ohanamaka2318]

They use the same scope 🙈

What happened?

[@krisstrong5936]

i had pain in my lower left side, however i went to the doctor for something unrelated, they gave me a CT scan and their jaws hit the floor and i was in surgery two days later to remove a 6cm mass that was almost blocking my colon. When pathology came back I was Stage 1 with a low grade low risk tumor and was extremely lucky that whatever brought me in allowed them to see that on a scan do a colonoscopy and remove it before it became a problem.

[@dilldaffa]

Is this like sharp pain or discomfort pressure...did it stay most of the time or just come and go? Did the pain go away when you ate something and ce back a few hours later? That's really good you got it removed it's always a good idea to keep getting checked in the future too

[@ankitajoshi4346]

Was it on the side flank area or the abdomen area and was it a prssing sensation of pain. Pls reply

[@krisstrong5936]
