Can I Go For Colonoscopy With Hemmoroids And Chronic Anemia?
hi there..i am a 49 yr old female with history of divericulitis and hemmoroids and bleeding as well as chronic anemia..
i have asked my dr. to request a colonoscopy...i am wondering if in your opinion this would warrant an "urgent" requisition...at least 80-90% of my bowel movements result in bleeding and hemmorhoids...

A periodic colonoscopy is recommended starting at age 50, and earlier if you have a family history of colon cancer. Anemia and bleeding from the bowels are also indications to get a colonoscopy. Diverticulosis is also a cause of colon bleeding. My opinion is that you have many indications to get a colonoscopy promptly.
