A member asked:
Tmy ct scan said i have narrowing in my transverse colon. what is this ?

Needs investigation: This could represent a normal colonic contraction, an area of inflammation or sometimes could reflect a colon cancer. Go see a gastroenterologist to determine whether colonoscopy is warranted or have your imaging further reviewed.
