A member asked:

What are the symptoms of thickening of colon wall?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe none: How was this thickening found? CT scan finding could see colon thickening of no consequence. May need colonoscopy to check significance if there is any concern.

Dr Cattano and another doctor agreed
