FAQ
Frequently Ask Questions.
While not all colorectal diseases can be prevented, certain measures can help reduce the risk. This includes maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, undergoing regular screenings for colorectal cancer, and promptly addressing any concerning symptoms or changes in bowel habits.
To maintain colorectal health, it is recommended to follow a balanced diet rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, stay hydrated, and undergo regular screenings for colorectal cancer as recommended by your healthcare provider.
Symptoms can vary depending on the specific disease, but common symptoms may include changes in bowel habits (diarrhea or constipation), rectal bleeding, abdominal pain or cramps, persistent bloating or gas, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and a feeling of incomplete bowel emptying. It's important to consult a healthcare provider if you experience any persistent or concerning symptoms.
The recovery period after colorectal surgery varies depending on the specific procedure performed, the patient's overall health, and the presence of any complications. Generally, it may take several weeks to a few months for patients to fully recover. The healthcare team will provide specific post-operative instructions and monitor the healing process.
