A member asked:
Would colon cancer cause one sided pain that comes and goes for a couple of days, every couple of months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: The symptoms you described are not typical of colon cancer. Unless you have family history of colon cancer occurring at an early age, you may wait till you turn 50 to get a colonoscopy. You may wish to see a doctor for your symptoms and evaluation. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
