What Are Your Symptoms?

Digestive problems can cause severe discomfort and even unnecessary food anxiety. Every meal shouldn’t trigger a chain reaction of stomach pains or irritable bowel movements. These symptoms are treatable. Even a symptom as manageable as recurring heartburn may indicate a more severe underlying problem.

Schedule a Houston Colonoscopy

If you are over the age of 50 and have not been tested for colon cancer, it is strongly advised that you schedule your first colonoscopy. An early screening will give doctors the opportunity to discover potential warning signs, or existing risk factors, before the disease spreads. On one hand, colorectal cancer (colon or rectal cancer) is one of the deadliest forms of the disease; however, on the other hand, it is also one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer—when caught early on. Take care of your health and schedule a colonoscopy in Houston, TX.

Risk Factors for Colorectal Cancer

It’s important to note that both MEN and WOMEN are at equal risk for developing colon or rectal cancer. Like most medical conditions, personal medical history and family medical history are strong indicators of your likelihood of developing cancer in the colon or rectum. If there is a history of colorectal cancer in your family, you should begin cancer screenings early on, or around the age of 40. Additionally, if you’re experiencing erratic bowel movements or unexplained weight loss, you should immediately consult one of our experienced Gastroenterologists in the Houston, Texas area.
