Tomorrow the tenth day and still come water. Somebody say this test for cancer and I am in abroad.
Brief Answer:
If all other causes ruled out, then a colonoscopy would be best
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again.
This test is not designed to confirm cancer, it is a general test to view the interior of the lower half of the gastrointestinal tract. It will provide your doctor on information of the inside of your lower GIT.
If there are any abnormalities found, we can help sort the issue. So your doctor must have ruled out conditions like anal fissure, fistula, weakening of the anal sphincter, etc.? If so, then a colonoscopy would be apt to take things forward.
Please do not hesitate to write back to me, I am always here to help and guide you.
