Common Questions and Answers about Ascending colon diseases symptoms

colon

Avatar m tn I'm having pain down the right side of my body in what seems like the whole of the ascending colon. It's hard to explain, there's also a pulse like pain that starts around my hip bone or the end of the ascending colon that travels up the ascending colon. I'm very uncomfortable after a meal and I can feel a little relief after I been to the toilet.
Avatar f tn On the other hand, colonoscopy evaluates only rectum, sigmoid colon, descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon, and terminal ileum (very end of small bowel).
Avatar f tn I had around 4 days of pain a month ago, very localised to the top of the ascending colon and for the 1st day it was quite painful. The pain has just returned today and I notice that I also have referred pain around the right side of T10 area (feels bruised there). The top of the ascending colon area is tender to touch and tight if I stretch. I am in my 50s, otherwise in v.good health.
203342 tn?1328737207 There was evidence of patent end-to-side ileo-colonic anastomosis in the ascending colon. This was characterized by erosion. A 6mm Sessile polyp was found in the ascending colon. Several biopsies were taken and revealed the polyp was benign and that I have inflamation throughout the colon and Gastritis in my stomach, duodenumitis and ileoitis? I'm not sure if I understand all the results. Perhaps you can help me better understand it all? The doctor prescribed Flagyl, Nexium and Entocort.
Avatar f tn In major issues like Colon Cancer, black tar colored stool is due to melena, and this is usually found in ascending colon(The right side of your abdomen) So opposite side of where your pain complaints are. Black colored stools can be caused by many issues, not just diseases. It can be caused by food, high iron, medicines,etc. But to be on the safe side, and to avoid causing more issues or prolonging it, you will want to visit your doctor and let them know whats going on.
Avatar m tn Does my digestion take place in the same way it did when I had an ascending colon? I think I understood the ascending colon removes water before waste travels on so - now what happens? Has my metabolism changed? I lost a few pounds (from 92 to 87) will I gain that back? That's only 5 pounds I know but it's an important 5 pounds to me - I didn't need to lose it. Five weeks later I have not gained it back - Will I in the future?
Avatar n tn Is there any doctor that has performed surgery to reattach a floppy ascending colon and cecum? Is this a bad idea or a surgery that would prevent a volvulus or cecal bascule? My 13 year old daughter has this condition. She has distention, intermittent pain, constipation, bile reflux, and nausea. Her cecum and appendix have been seen in the upper left quadrant, center and high in the abdomen and in the lower left quadrant but upside down on xrays during upper GI series and lower bowel tests.
Avatar f tn It can be a tricky business removing polyps in the ascending colon. There is no reason to panic. Colon cancer is very slow growing. In my opinion another colonoscopy in three months won't reveal much. Perhaps biopsies can be taken, but that still leaves unanswered questions. The one sure solution is surgery, and I wouldn't settle for anything less than the most experienced specialist in your area.
Avatar m tn So, your symptoms may not be due to the colon and this does not need surgical correction. Please discuss the various possibilities for your symptoms with your doctor. Take care. Regards.
Avatar m tn I have had this pain for over 6 months. The only relief I get is from taking laxatives and completely emptying myself out. Whenever there is anything in the area the ruq bend of my colon (hepatic flexure) I suffer from horrible pain. It is so bad it affects my mental state. The only relief I get is when I press on it, digging deep under my rib, the relief lasts about 10 seconds. I can hear the liquid squishing, and sometimes the pain even radiates down my ascending colon.
7003050 tn?1390124013 If you are a smaller person you can actually feel your stool in the right ascending colon. Once the stool moved to the transverse colon it's harder to feel. Going to the bathroom and your normal colonic movement will move the stool along. Sometimes women notice it after pregnancy as we get more in tune/focussed on our abdomen. So totally normal.
Avatar f tn Starting to have pain from the adhensions which have formed,especially in the right side ..Do the symptoms get any better? or is this as good as it gets!!!!. If anyone has any helpful advice I would be grateful as it can be isolating and friends and family try to be understanding but at times you would like to chat with someone who is experiencing the same horrid symptoms.
Avatar n tn I have been having pain (ascending colon) for the past month below my right rib cage (extream right) , and the feeling tightness subsides when bed resting. Please advice what it could be & what should be done.
Avatar f tn Bloated feeling in stomach and intestines. Recurring tenderness in ascending colon area. Headaches and what seems to feel like dry or tired eyes. Had an abdominal ultrasound and results are a mild fatty liver. I have high cholesterol. Had upper endoscopy and diagnosed with gastritis but I don't get heartburn or sore throat. Taking Protonix and Ranitidine doesn't seem to be working much. Nausea is the worst of the symptoms because it is constant. Not enough to vomit though.
Avatar m tn Many people have right upper quadrant pain that can be associated with stomach issues, gallbladder issues or problems that result from discomfort with a portion of the ascending colon/transverse colon.
Avatar f tn fecal matter passes from small intestine through ascending colon, then across (transverse) colon, then descending colon; if a tumor formed in the ascending colon where fecal matter is mostly liquid it would take longer to identify the problem versus a larger blockage that would impact bowel movements (in the descending colon). I would guess that inflammation of the bowel is more likely. (UC/Crohns) Best of luck!
Avatar f tn CT showed a calcified granuloma in my lung(usually benign from my readings) and segmental colitis with majority thickening of ascending colon. Dr ordered biofire stool for viruses(normal) and inflammatory bowel panel to check for Crohn's or ulcerative colitis. Also normal!! Ive been constipated, which i assumed was from IBS.. blood in stool, assumed from hemmeroid history. Bad night sweats, dr attributes -to menopause (previous hysterectomy). Any ideas?
Avatar f tn In 2015 I had a cecal vulvulus (a twisted colon) so had to have emergency surgery to remove my cecum and ascending colon plus my ileocecal valve which is connected to the small intestine. Now I usually have constipation because apparently fecal matter gets stuck in the right part of my colon where the connection was made. Last year I ended up with diarrhea for 89 days including in the middle of the night.
Avatar f tn Right-sided abdominal pain may be caused by problems with your liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, right kidney, or right-sided bowel (ascending colon/cecum, appendix, and/or terminal ileum), or alternatively hernias.
Avatar n tn I've been having stomach pains, with a lot of gas pains, for over a year. They come and go. Lately (last week) I discovered a "lump(?)" that I believe is waste in my ascending colon. It won't pass through. I can move it down and feel, hear, waste getting past. I think it's waste because I can move it. But I can't get it to dissolve or soften up so it will pass through. I've increased my fiber intake and am drinking lots of water. Any ideas on what else to do?
Avatar f tn I just had a CT scan and have been diagnosed with a "mild wall thickening of the ascending colon and hepatic flexure" suggesting a colitis. Endoscopy may be helpful to further evaluate. Everything that I have been reading says that the most common symptoms are stomach cramping, diarrhea (even bloody diarrhea), frequent loose stools, fever chills, nausea, weight loss, and tiredness. Out of all these I only have lower abdominal pain and tiredness.
Avatar n tn Sigmoid colon polyps are more likely associated with nutrition status, whereas ascending colon polyps are more likely to be genetic. Take care & good luck!
Avatar n tn FINDINGS: Focal area of bowel wall thickening in the ascending colon (series 2 image 50) could be physiologic, although colonic neoplasm cannot be excluded from this appearance. This finding was not present on the previous exam. A mildly enlarged and several mildly prominent mesenteric lymph nodes are noted in the right lower quadrant, which have increased slightly in size since the previous exam.
Avatar f tn Most terminal illnesses pop up with little to no symptoms. Cervical cancer is one that can strike with absolutely no symptoms, on top of many other diseases. Colon Cancer is no different. So again, talk with your GI and see what they think. Keep us updated on it, Im sure you will be fine.
Avatar n tn And also, these slight hardness and pain can be felt with my fingers even more when I lie down completely flat on the bed or floor. The pain is a bit sharp and it seems to source from the ascending colon.
