A member asked:
My father, afraid of a colonoscopy, did at-home fit tests. he's had 4 tests - all positive. blames non-bleeding hemorrhoids. could this be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Alternatives: Positive FIT test should be evaluated by a doctor. If your father does not wish to have colonoscopy, there are imaging alternatives that are similar to colonoscopy. With timely colonoscopy, colon cancer can be prevented in virtually all people. Even if your father refuses to have colonoscopy, he should still see a doctor.
