They look for blood in stool, but cancerous polyps do not always cause bleeding, so they are limited in their ability to detect all cancers. These types of tests may be less invasive, but they also are less accurate than colonoscopy. [healthplans.providence.org]
Workup
A detailed history and physical examination provide diagnostic clues but a diagnostic workup often ends up requiring colonoscopy. The diagnostic yield of colonoscopy has been previously studied in retrospective studies. [intechopen.com]
Treatment
Therefore, we present two cases whose management was different and we show their clinical presentation, their diagnosis and their treatment in order to recognize this complication early to establish early treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This type of bleeding may also go away on its own, but it may require treatment if it becomes severe. Postpolypectomy Syndrome This is a syndrome that occurs as a result of a burn to the bowel wall during polyp removal. [ibdcrohns.about.com]
Prognosis
The addition of ileoscopy to screening colonoscopy can detect asymptomatic small bowel carcinoid tumors and improve long-term prognosis through early surgical resection. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
CONCLUSIONS: A 20-member international team has provided standardized methods for analysis of etiologies of PCCRCs and PICRCs and defines its use as a quality indicator. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Colonoscopy can be used to treat chronic constipation based on the etiology. [intechopen.com]

Prevention
Most patients know to drink lots of fluids to prevent dehydration but a lot of them get week or nauseous. This prevents them from drinking more. Loss of electrolytes or dehydration is potential risk that can even get deadly. [journey-with-crohns-disease.com]
