- Abstract
We are generally concerned about the state of organs or parts of the body that we consider to be more important (heart, liver, stomach, skin or hair condition), but never or very rarely about the state of our colon. Why not admit this is the last one in our list of concerns about our health? The list of colon diseases is a long one: colon cancer, polyps, diverticulum, diverticulitis, inflammatory diseases - Crohn, ulcerative haemorrhagic recto colitis, infectious and non-infectious colitis, irritable colon, intestinal parasitosis, adhesions, haemorrhoids, anal fissure, anal fistula, anal prolapse, anal abscess, condylomas, anal incontinence, rectocele, anal pruritus, constipation, carcinoid, intestinal floral imbalance, Candida infection. In most colon pathologies, a prolonged asymptomatic period is noted.
