Accepted Answer

Try not to worry: The symptoms you describe are not consistent with colon cancer.  My recommendation is for you to develop a plan with your primary care doctor for screening for colon cancer.  Based on current guidelines in a patient with your positive family history, I recommend having a screening colonoscopy at age 40, or possibly 35.  However, if you have blood in your stools, you should have colonoscopy. B well

Question 10

Accepted Answer

May be lump of poop: Each person with constipation needs to be sure there is no other disease causing it. If constipation is just due to slow movement of the food and poop through the gut, then the things to try are vegetables, water, prune juice, prunes, fiber+water, Miralax, (polyethylene glycol) Senokot or other senna, milk of magnesia, other laxatives... A doctor can evaluate and check for more serious causes of "abdominal mass".
