How would one know whether there was something very wrong with their bowels apart from pain or blood in stool?

Colonoscopy: Routine colonoscopy saves lives! the most important time to find colonic cancer or precancerous polyps is when a person is asymptomatic. This is the only screening test we have that not only detects a condition that can become cancer, but also gets rid of that condition at the same time!
