AnswerThe symptoms can range from having no symptoms at all to having bleeding from the rectum to having abdominal or pelvic pain. Because most people do not have symptoms at all, it is recommended that everyone obtain a colonoscopy after age 50 (or earlier if there is a strong family history of colorectal cancer). If one is having bleeding, it is highly recommended to have one performed very soon, especially if he or she is over 50.
