Agreed. Early detection is key.
I had bleeding in my stool in my early 30s due to hemorrhoids/anal fissures. My Gastro doctors suggested a colonoscopy just to rule out any other underlying issues. Fortunately, that was not the case but he did find 2 pre-cancerous polyps that he removed. He said if I would have come in at 45 years old for my first one like typically recommended, it probably would not have been good. There is no history of colon cancer in my family.
My cousin is a Gastro doctor also and she is seeing more cases in younger adults and they are now suggesting your first colonoscopy earlier now.
