Colorectal Cancer - Is it Cancer or Hemorrhoids?

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and screening and prevention are so important for this disease. Doctorpedia is proud to work with engaging and empathetic doctors who are passionate about patient education. If you or someone you know fits the screening criteria for colorectal cancer (men ages 45 and older who are average risk) they should get screened with a colonoscopy.

In this video, colon and rectal surgeon Dr. Ray Scott Daugherty explains that occasionally patients will be diagnosed with hemorrhoids but actually have anal or rectal cancer. It's important to get evaluated if you have any perianal, perirectal, or anorectal discomfort and bleeding.

Wow, watching how the hems practically melted away within 48 hours, feels so good lol, I used what I talked about the other day, well it actually took about 72 hours for them to totally shrink and disappear, I just go’ogled Melissa Thanderski and the sense of relief is so worth it.
