Commonly, you undergo upper endoscopy frequently, but you really don't get a colonoscopy.
One of the truly important things after entering your 40s is a colonoscopy.
Recently, a friend casually thought, "Should I just try a colonoscopy?" and underwent the procedure, only to receive a diagnosis of colon cancer.
I went to a university hospital and had surgery.
Fortunately, since it was in the very early stage, no additional treatment is needed after surgery; just regular check-ups are sufficient.
And the hospital said that colon cancer is already in the late stages (stage 3 or 4) by the time you feel pain, so regular check-ups are important.
I hope everyone develops the habit of regular check-ups in advance to prevent issues effectively.
