Don't worry about the colonoscopy procedure as you will not be that uncomfortable. You will be lightly sedated and won't remember anything about it. The good news is that if anything is found to be amiss, it can be taken care of before it becomes life threatening. Add a little  humor to the procedure. I put a temporary tattoo of a Tasmanian Devil on my buttock! The surgical staff thought it was hysterical.

Try the links below. The first is a quiz to see if you have IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). The other one is a link to all the hits that contain "mucus in stool" on WebMD.com. I hope this helps. Just be careful. I searched for "blood in stool" and a lot of cancer articles came up (see the third link). I would have your stool tested again to see if there's anything seriously wrong.

Colonoscopy is a test that allows your doctor to look at the interior lining of your large intestine (rectum and colon) through a thin, flexible viewing instrument called a colonoscope. A colonoscopy helps detect ulcers, polyps, tumors, and areas of inflammation or bleeding. During a colonoscopy, tissue samples can be collected (biopsy) and abnormal growths can be removed. Colonoscopy can also be used as a screening test to identify and remove precancerous and cancerous growths in the colon or rectum (colorectal cancer).\nSigmoidoscopy looks at the inner lining of your anu s, rectum, and the lower part of the large intestine (colon). These tests are used to look for abnormal growths (such as tumors or polyps), inflammation, bleeding, hemorrhoids, and other conditions (such as diverticulosis).

I could be a number of things--but it sounds like he has an open cyst in his colon.  I would suggest that this is not normal and that he should seek medical attention.   A colonoscopy is very helpful for internal examination of the colon and large intestines.  This will see if it is in the colon or possibly coming from elsewhere, such a bile discharge or a stomach Ulcer.  See a physician sooner rather than latter.

Your colon knows how to cleanse itself. Eat enough fiber. Those colon cleansers are a scam.

As Grueny said, the prep for the test is *far* worse than the actual test itself.  I think the worst part of the test is just that, well, the concept of what they are doing!  :)\n\nI've had several colonoscopies over the past two decades.  For the most part, they don't hurt at all.  If you stay awake, the tech or doctor may actually let you watch on the screen to see what they are finding.  It might be a little bit uncomfortable if they find a polyp they want to snip to biopsy.  The only time I've had a colonoscopy be truly painful was when I suffered from a significant number of adhesions that were attaching my colon to other organs in my body.  However, that's definately not something the vast majority of people going through a colonoscopy would experience.\n\nI know it's easier said than done but try to relax.  The test really isn't that bad at all.

Yes. If you are worried about it go get it checked out right away. Early detection can mean a huge difference in your end result. A colorectal surgeon can do a few tests that could put your mind at ease.It could be that you just have a polyp or diverticulitis.

Colon cancer is cancer which starts in the digestive, or gastrointestinal (GI) system. A colon's primary responsibility is to process food into energy and remove all waste materials. As with any cancer, the disease begins when cancerous cells begin to grow out of control compared to normal, non-cancer cells. Every cancer is different depending on where it occurs, so colon cancer will generally progress at a different rate, cause different symptoms, and respond to different medical treatments. Most of the time, colon cancer spreads slowly over a period of years, and colon cancer can effect any section or layer of your colon. \n\nThe key to have a good prognosis with colon cancer is to catch the disease early. If a doctor can find and remove a colon cancer polyp in the early stages, then there is a much better chance of recovery. Colorectal cancer (affecting the colon or rectum) is the third most common cancer found in Americans with over 100,000 cases of colon cancer expected this year. Risk factors of colon cancer include age, family history, smoking, ethnicity, diet, lack of excercise, alcohol, and history of other bowel disease. If you are in an at-risk category, then it is important to get a colon cancer screening test. If you are unsure with you fit the profile, talk to ask primary physician first.
