Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it is commonly missed.

Here is the problem;

Symptoms show up when it’s advanced. Waiting for symptoms is waiting too long!

Colonoscopy is not just a diagnostic test. It is preventive care. It allows us to find and remove the precancerous polyps that are silently seating in your colon, long before they become cancerous.

Who needs colonoscopy?

📌 Anyone above 45( 40 in some populations)

📌 A family history of colon cancer- screening should be done 10 years earlier than the age at which your relative was diagnosed with colon cancer.

📌An underlying condition like IBS, metabolic syndrome, long standing gut inflammation.

📌Symptoms- unexplained iron deficiency, blood in stool, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits like constipation & diarrhea.

📌studies indicate increased risk of colon cancer in patients on long term ( more than 3 months) treatment with PPIs (omeprazole, Esomeprazole)

Note:

Symptoms are late. Screening is early.

Gut health is not just about digestion. It profoundly affects all aspects of our health!

A balanced and diverse gut microbiome maintains metabolic homeostasis, while dysbiosis—an imbalance in microbial composition—drives inflammation and metabolic dysfunction including obesity, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Managing gut health does not only reduce the risk of getting chronic diseases, but also improves the response to treatment.

Keloids are a type of scar that forms when the body produces too much collagen during the healing process. Unlike normal scars, keloids extend beyond the boundaries of the original injury and can continue to grow over time.
Some individuals are more prone to developing keloids than others, particularly those with darker skin.

Surgery+Corticosteroids to minimize risk of recurrence.
