Colonic Disease

Causes: The causes can be due to a fiber deficit diet.

  • Treatment: They are treated with antibiotics, painkillers, and an increased liquid diet.

    • Colonic Polyps: Polyps are small non-cancerous growths in the walls lining the colon. They usually do not cause symptoms but are found while performing routine colonoscopies. They occur in older adults above 50 and are also common in people with a family history of colon polyps. In some people, the polyps do not turn into cancer. However, in a few cases, the polyps turn cancerous. So, removing the polyps via colonoscopy is advisable to reduce the risk.

      • Causes: The exact causes of polyps are unknown, but certain factors like genetics, age, being obese, physical inactivity, smoking, and alcohol consumption contributes to causative agents.

      • Treatment: Colonic polyps are removed via colonoscopy. Colonoscopy is used both for diagnostic and treatment purposes.

    • Ulcerative Colitis: Ulcerative colitis is the inflammation and wound formation in the lining of the colon and the rectum. It can occur at any age. It causes symptoms like abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, rectal bleeding, extreme tiredness, and anemia.

      • Causes: The exact reasons are unclear. However, a few doctors believe environmental factors, autoimmune disorders, and genetic disorders contribute to the disease.

    • Colorectal Cancer: Colorectal cancers are abnormal cancerous growths in the colon and the rectum. They cause symptoms like blood in stools, narrow stools, diarrhea or constipation, nausea and vomiting, unexplained weight loss, bloating, and feeling full with minimal food intake.

      • Causes: The definite reasons for colon cancer are unclear, but certain factors like a sedentary lifestyle, old age, history of colorectal cancer or colon polyp, inflammatory bowel diseases, fiber deficit food, and consuming fat-rich foods can lead to colorectal cancer.

      • Treatment: Treatment includes surgical removal of the cancerous lesion, radiofrequency ablation, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.
