The Colon - Part Of Your Body
The colon is the waste basket of our body. After digesting what it wanted, the waste moves down the colon, stored till such time it is expelled through the rectum as stool. When you suffer from indigestion, constipation, or ailments of the abdomen, the colon is also examined by the physician. You must consult your physician if the problem does not abate. You might be having colon cancer. To verify, a colonoscopy would be performed which enables the doctor to see the whole colon and check for abnormalities. Abnormal tissue is removed and a piece sent for biopsy. You will be advised by your physician on the treatment.
