Ct scan vs colonoscopy
Posted: Tue Jan 23, 2018 12:49 pm
I’ve been feeling a pulling sensation in my left side of
my abdomen when I lie down on my right side. It is not painful just very uncomfortable. The doctor wants to do a ct scan (mom died of colon cancer) but I’m unease about radiation and that the ct Scan would missed some tiny polyps (?). Should I go first for colonoscopy? What is most effective? He is leaving it up to me. Thanks for your comments.
