When To See A Colorectal Surgeon?
Your primary care physician will refer you to a colorectal surgeon to diagnose a condition or treat one that has been detected. Colonoscopy, an exam of the lining of the colon and rectum, is routinely recommended for all adults over age 50 as part of a colorectal cancer screening program. In many cases, this screening can prevent colorectal cancer. Sometimes lifestyle and dietary changes or medication can help resolve your colorectal health issue. You should consult your primary care physician if you have:
- Changes in your bowel habits
- Bleeding from your rectum
- Blood in your stool
- Unexplained abdominal symptoms
- Other gastrointestinal conditions and diseases
