Brief Answer:
You need to increase your dietary fiber intake.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. You need to take plenty of dietary fibers. You need to increase the intake of green leafy vegetables. Also take fiber supplements like psyllium husk or senna. Thse will aid in proper formation of stool and would lead to proper clearance of the colon leading to resolution of the symptoms.
You also need to take plenty of fluids to drink. Back it up with proper and regular exercise.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards

I never had such a problem. I am fearing, discomfort and burning sensation in.ascending colon. worried is it lead to or already in a state of cancer or not?
Brief Answer:
Roughage is very important
Detailed Answer:
I am talking about the exact same thing. Cancer is not the first thing to expect. I am talking about the thing to be done before that. Taking plenty of yogurt or curd will also help as it contains beneficial bacteria.
If apprehensive, get an ultrasound of whole abdomen done.

I am totally lost. it feels near the apendis something hard is there. while I sit I feel the hardness inside my skin, when I.stand up its less.more.over there is no pain. that's why its more worrying to me. no.pain still.its heavy. can actually feel length and breth of colon inside.me. or can it happen from gas problem.????
Brief Answer:
Stop worrying unnecessarily
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back
You are unnecessarily worrying too much.
A biopsy followed by histopathological examination is the best test for detection of a cancer. But for that there has to be a growth first. Therefore an ultrasonogram would be needed to see if there is any growth (tumor) at all. If not (I do not think there is), the probability of cancer may be ruled out.
I do not think that your symptoms are due to cancer. You are overexaggerating what you know. Go for an ultrasonogram and thereafter get yourself examined by a doctor. Your apprehension would get cleared.
Gas is a very vague term. Let us say that the mentioned complaints are due to intestinal problems.
Stop panicking.
