A member asked:
Ct of abdomen and pelvis "gi tract: no mechanical obstruction". does this mean no tumors present in colon area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This means that they did not see any obstruction but it does not mean there is no tumor. Tumors or polyps are best seen via colonoscopy so if this is a concern, you should see a GI doctor and pursue a colonoscopy. Good luck!
