Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have had a severe back pain issue for the past five months. I also have pain and small growth in my anal region. My anal region is itchy. Is this related to colorectal cancer?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.

  1. Avoid straining during bowel movements.

  2. Get physically examined by a surgeon.

  3. Stay well hydrated.

  4. Eat a fiber-rich, balanced diet.

  5. Avoid fried, oily, junk, alcohol, non-veg, smoking, and spicy foods.

  6. Maintain a strict posture.

  7. Use a support belt.

These do not seem to be symptoms of cancer; however, a physical examination and investigation are a must to rule out the same.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
