Both men and women should set up routine screening for colorectal cancer, but not at the same age.

May 29, 2013 - Both men and women should set up routine screening for colorectal cancer but not at the same age. Men have advanced polyps that could lead to cancer from forty five to fifty, whereas women have them from fifty five to sixty. As with any type of cancer, regular screenings can help doctors detect anything unusual faster. One because they know what your body looked like before and can see the changes, and two, they can find precancerous growths and remove them before they turn into full blown cancer of the colon.

A colonoscopy is a procedure that examines the inside of the colon for any sign of pre-cancerous growths. The process involves a tube with a camera attached inserted into the rectum. It doesn’t sound like a fun procedure, but it could help to save your life. It is necessary when men reach the age of forty to start thinking about getting them regularly, but if it runs in your family you might want to get looked at a little earlier.Colon cancer is hereditary. Colonoscopies are done while the patient is asleep because there is the small risk of tears, bleedings, and perforations occurring, and it is better to be asleep to avoid discomfort.

Colon cancer is the third most common cancer that men will get, and women. It is important that you take your screenings seriously. The screenings are to increase your chances of surviving colon cancer if you have it, now doesn’t that seem worth it?
