I met with a gastro doc, and he gave me a fecal occult test, which was negative. He said, despite my family history, I can wait until age 40 to get my first colonoscopy. He recommended a fecal test annually until then. Is this reasonable? Of course, my dad's doc told him to tell his son to get a scope right away, so I'm confused.
I am in good health. I do have ongoing problems with non-bacterial prostatitis, which sometimes manifests itself as a very painful, dull ache in my rectum.
Hello, i am going to get a colonoscopy on friday. I have been having health issues for over a month and landed in the hospital on thursday night.

My GP said that as the polyp was benign there's no need for a further follow-up. However, I've read some guidelines for follow ups after a polypectomy which say a colonoscopy should be carried out after three years for polyps that are 10mm or larger.

My father was diagnosed at age 65 with colon cancer which ultimately caused his death (I get a colonoscopy every 5 years and haven't had a polyp yet). My question is, do you feel I should be tested for the BRCA1 & 2 gene mutations? I'm unsure what the current guidelines are for this test, but I do know that women of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage have this mutation more than the general population. I thank you for your assistance.

I had a colonoscopy about 2 months ago and since I have had a bad rash/fungi on my buttocks. I went back to the Dr who did the colonoscopy and he suggested Tinactin be applied for day time and Balmx for nighttime. I am still having bouts of it. What do you suggest?
I have had bouts of diarrhea since May, 2010, after many antibiotics for 2 sinus infections. My gastroenterology
doctor did a colonoscopy, small bowel study, stool culture & blood work. I already have chrones disease &
divertucula. He did not see any changes in either of these & all tests came out negative. He told me to take
imodium. When I take the imodium, it will help control the diarrhea for a day. I cannot go anywhere because
of the diarrhea problem.
I recently had a colonoscopy done. Luckily everything was fine and the doctor told me I didn't have to have it done again for another 10 years.
I was wondering if the scopes used in the colonoscopy procedures can spread HPV from the anal canal, if one is infected, to other parts of the colon.
On THIS forum, we adhere to official US guidelines, not guidelines from other countries. We go by what the people who manufacture the tests say. We have discussed this exact topic a million times. Until the guidelines change, our advice won't. We tell people all the time that there results are promising and reassuring at certain points, but for definitive results, 3 months remains our advice.
the issue is in the 2010 cdc herpes guidelines.
along with many other things. you should have a full detailed physical at 50yo including a colonoscopy.

I would be more apt to go with the American guidelines, however, I am not sure what you mean by "European guidelines" because in France our guideline is as the American guidelines. Malignant polyps are NOT usually left in.
In what countries have you consulted physicians?
My husband was diagnosed with colon cancer in Dec 2010. They removed 4 inches of his colon followed by 6 months (50 hours every other wee) of chemo. No catscans were done to check any other organs at the completetion of this. In April of this year, his blood work came back (bad) is what they called it. They gave him a colonoscopy which came back non cancerous, however, the surgeon wanted to be sure and did another, again coming back clean.
