On Colon Cleansing Pills and Clinical Cleansing

So, how is it everyone ? Been busy as my mom has been hospitalised for breathlessness and not been able to check on my blog. On doc's advice, also did a MT scan but luckily so far nothing is found to be wrong with her.

Ever tried any of the OTC colon cleansing pills or even gone for a colon cleanse before ?

The reason why you are at my blog now is probably to find out more about them.

In an earlier post, I mentioned I went for a colon cleanse/screen. It was "alright" once you get used to that feeling LOL , if you know what I mean. Otherwise, it will certainly be something worth experiencing LOL, on top of getting a good cleanse :)

To sum up, however, colon cleansing pills that are of vegetarian formula are highly recommended as it is less abrasive to your gut. Also, it is advisable that you go for a cleanse if you have not done so. Doing it once every few years is good for you.

However, do consult with your family doctor first to see if the OTC medicine or the clinical cleanse is suitable for you. Read on in my blog about OTC cleansing medication, colon cancer screening and who is suitable :)

Colon Cancer

My blog is a very generalistic blog on colon cancer and various colon cleansing solutions.

It is more for your reading pleasure and a source of online information.

It is by no means exhaustive as the internet is a rich source of information.

But to be on the safe side, you should approach your local government clinics for a body scan or full body checkup once every year to ensure that you are fine. Never overlook colon issues like cancer which can cause you great suffering.

Going for a colon cleanse once a year is also something that you might want to put in your annual calendar.

Or have a healthy diet covering colon detoxication that will help you in your digestion and protect your gut against all the daily "wear and tear".

Remember, having colon cancer is no joke and will cause you more agony especially when you will have problems eating.

Get treated for colon cancer if you are discovered early and that can be easier as compared to later years when the cancer cells spread and you end up with more issues than you can handle on top of a hefty medical bill.

Search the net ! Or go see a doctor if you are worried !

Early Symptoms of Colon Cancer

Maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle can certainly help to prevent colon cancer.

Medical studies suggest that avoiding alcohol, smoking and obesity can help reduce the risk of colon cancer. Staying tuned to your bodily functions and seeking medical attention if any colon cancer early symptoms are found will also ensure early detection, should growths arise.

Recall the old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".

Stay healthy people !

Overview of Colon Cancer Screening

Several screening methods are highly effective in detecting colon cancer. Screening tests include:

1. Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy allows the doctor to get an in-depth view of the colon with the use of a colonoscope, a fiber optic tube that is attached to a microscopic camera that transmits live video feed to a monitor. The colonoscope is gently inserted into the anus and slowly to the colon, giving the doctor a full view of the rectum and large intestine. It is common to be nervous about a colonoscopy, so people are given a sedative prior to the procedure to aid in relaxation, and also to help the doctor complete the colonoscopy.

2. Fecal Occult Blood Test
A fecal occult blood test (FOBT) finds blood in your stool that you may not see with the naked eye or to confirm that it is actually blood in the stool that you may have seen. You are given a special kit to collect stool samples.

3. Barium Enema
During a barium enema, a doctor inserts liquid barium into the rectum. X-rays are taken of you laying several positions. The barium allows the colon to be viewed better on X-rays.

4. Sigmoidoscopy
A sigmoidoscopy is done with a flexible, lighted tube with an attached camera, but it is limited to only the lower part of the colon.

For adults who are at average risk of colon cancer, it is recommended to begin screening for colon cancer at age 50. Adults who are classified at higher risk may begin screening earlier at the recommendation of their doctor. Remember that even if you are not experiencing symptoms of colon cancer, you should always follow your doctor's colon cancer screening recommendations.
