 So, we're here today with Dr. Nate Holmes, colorectal surgeon at Hackensack Meridian Bayshore Medical Center and Olbridge Medical Center. I know what you're thinking, there are no more buts when it comes to your butt. But, things like, but I don't have time for a colonoscopy, but I'm healthy, but I don't have symptoms can be really bad for your butt, right, Dr? Yeah, that is so true. I love that. You know, just need to get their colonoscopy. It really is a fairly straightforward and easy test. The excuses that I hear all the time, you know, people just don't want it done. They say that they feel fine. They have their bowel movements every day like clockwork. They have no problems with their GI tract. And I gotta tell you, I've seen people over the years who, you know, they finally get beaten down by their family members or somebody to come in and get their colonoscopy and they say, they feel never had a problem at all. And they get their colonoscopy, they have the tumor. The earlier we find the tumor, the better, which is the purpose of, you know, screening colonoscopy. Now, what do you say to the people who think colonoscopies are painful? Oh, it's so wrong. It's such the opposite. It's such an easy procedure. So, you know, they come in in the morning. The worst part of the morning is they put an IV in and that generally is not that painful. They get a nice little squirt of medication and they go off and they have the best nap they've ever had in their entire life. And that's today. The hard part of the procedure is, you know, doing the prep the night before. And that's either drinking a half a gallon of stuff or taking a bunch of pills to make to clean out the system. But it's so important. What are the early warning signs of colon cancer? Well, there are a number of things you can have. You can have a little bit of bleeding. You can have a little bit of abdominal pain. By and large, the real problem is most often, there are no symptoms. So, you could be going through life feeling absolutely fine and finally come in to get a colonoscopy and have colon cancer. Doctor, the bottom line on this whole thing, I think what we've learned today is no more butts when it comes to your butt, right? Absolutely. No ifs and or buts to tease. And yeah, gotta get it done.
