Brief Answer: There is no substitute for good clinical examinati Detailed Answer: Hi, I take curbside opinion from my fellow colleagues from other specialty before answering any questions. Further in my clinical practice I come across many such patients, in majority of the patient the cause is benign like colitis and in some there has been colonic growth as the cause of symptoms. Therefore I recommend all my patients with recent alteration in bowel habit either constipation or diarrhea to see a physician or surgeon.
