How is colon ulcer treated?

Hi Bing Qi, A colonoscopy often begins with the administration of a mild sedative which renders the patient unconscious or drowsy for the duration of the procedure. After which, the colonoscope is inserted into the anus, gas is pumped into the colon and the scope is advanced to the caecum. This is done by a series of maneuvers executed by the endoscopist’s right hand which twists, pulls and pushes the scope, while the left hand manipulates the up-down-left-right controls on the scope handle. This allows the scope to wriggle its way through the bends and corners of the colon.

If you truly have reasons to worry about having colon cancer, please do not delay any longer. It is a well-known fact that survival is best when colon cancers are detected early. If you are 50yr and above or having a significant family history of colon cancer or you have a past history of colon polyps, you automatically fall into a higher risk group for having colon cancer. So many have made the mistake of assuming a benign cause of bleeding just because one has a past history of haemorrhoids. Such assumptions may result in unnecessary delay in making the right diagnosis.
