Is a feeling of pressure above the colon upon bowel movement a sign of colon cancer?
Patient: I was noticing on recent bowel movements that I feel pressure several inches higher in the colon. I have had mild hemorrhoids and bleeding, but this does not feel natural. Could this be signs of colon cancer? I eat oatmeal, apples, and drink mineral oil. I also take a probiotic, stool softener, and herblelax and occasionally miralax. Thanks! Doctor: Hello,  At the moment that you have diagnosed hemorrhoids I don’t think that you should worry.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Take care  Regards, Dr Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
