A member asked:
I have grade 2 internal and external hemorrhoids - how often should i get a colonoscopy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No need: You should not have colonoscopy just for hemorrhoids. Some times bleeding in cancer of colon and rectum is attributed to hemorrhoids. Anoscopy and proctoscopy in doctor office is enough for it.

Hi doctors! I had a colonoscopy which Thank God showed only diverticulosis and internal hemorrhoids. I seem to get constipation ""once in a while."" What would you suggest as a good laxative to ""keep around the house"" if the constipation resurfaces?
