How To Treat Hemorrhoids

Posts Tagged ‘descending colon’

I had about a week and a half of constipation in early June, and my descending colon has been a little swollen since then, enough to notice a bulge on my left side. Now my right side hurts a little bit and my stool is broken into small pieces when I pass it. I go frequently, but not in great quantity. Any ideas what this could be, before I head off to the doctor?

Yesterday my sister had surgery to remove her entire ascending and transverse colon to just below the splenic flexure due to cancer. She did get to keep her descending colon and the anastomosis went well. How will this affect her in her every day life? Any information would be appreciated.
