Suffering from Embarrassing Bowel Problems?

Don't ignore and delay treatment as your condition could get progressively worse.
Bowel or Gastrointesinal diseases comprise a broad range of conditions and ailments, the severity of which can vary from mildly irritating to life threatening. Research shows early screening and treatment can significantly improve treatment outcomes, yet many patients delay or don't seek treatment because of lack of knowledge about their disease and its symptoms or are too embarrassed to seek help.

Recurrent bowel problems like abdominal pain, abdominal bloating, foul flatulence, constipation, rectal bleeding or other discomforts should never be dismissed hastily. They can often signal severe gastrointestinal conditions or diseases which lie undetected. While preventive habits and home remedies can improve mild problems, persistent gastrointestinal issues require proper screening, diagnosis and treatment.

A hernia if left alone will never go away by itself. The lump is a part of the intestine and bulges out of weak muscles in the abdomen, navel or even surgical incisions. Though all hernias are not painful, they ultimately obstruct the intestine and can even cause sudden shooting pain at unexpected times. Hernia repair with surgery is the only cure for umbilical, inguinal and incisional hernia.

Similarly bleeding from the rectum while passing stools can also be the harbinger of a variety of serious disorders like haemorrhoids, diverticulitis, anal fissures, abnormal blood vessels, ulcerative colitis, polyps or even cancer. These require medical treatment and even surgical procedures at times.

Colon cancer another bowel disease is potentially curable if detected in its early stages. High-risk factors include personal or family history of colorectal cancer, polyps (benign growths that may become cancerous), ulcerative colitis, or cancer of other organs. Detection methods include a digital rectal exam (an exam of the rectum by a physician with his or her finger) and a chemical test of the stool for blood. Colorectal cancer can be prevented if polyps are detected and removed through an outpatient colonoscopy (examination of the entire colon), or an endoscopy flexible sigmoidoscopy (examination of the lower large intestine). If symptoms such as rectal bleeding and changes in bowel habits appear, a colorectal surgeon should be immediately consulted to determine if the patient has colon cancer or another bowel disease, and the patient should be promptly treated as appropriate.
