Colon Cancer |
Colon Cancer or Hemmoroids11/30/2007 |
During sex a few days ago, I inserted a finger into my husbands anus (this is the first time I had ever done that to him). I felt something that felt like a hard growth of some sort. About six months back, he had some blood during a bowel movement. He is too embarrassed to go to the doctor. He is a 36 year old male with no family history of colon cancer. Does this sound more like hemmoroids or like a polyp?
I am not able to say what it is, but it should be investigated. Tell him no one has ever died of embarrassment, but too many Americans die of colorectal cancer.
