Women's Digestive Health Expert

Colon cancer is not a "man's disease" as many American's think. It is an equal opportunity cancer that strikes men and women equally. It is the #2 cancer killer. The majority of people are over the age of 50. However, it can be found in younger individuals who have a family history of colon cancer. The chance that an average risk woman will develop colon cancer in her lifetime is 5-6%. In its early stages, it typically produces no symptoms. Symptoms, when present, may include a change in bowel patterns (i.e. diarrhea and constipation), rectal bleeding, blood in the stool, unintentional loss of weight or new abdominal pain.

Looking at the Bright Side

Colon cancer is preventable if women listen to their body's symptoms and get appropriate colonoscopies as recommended by their gastroenterologists. During a colonoscopy, pre-cancerous polyps , if found, are removed to decrease chances of developing colon cancer. The American Cancer Society and American College of Gastroenterology recommend that everyone gets a screening colonoscopy at the age of 50 or sooner if any of the above symptoms appear.
