Colorectal

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of conditions involving inflammation of the intestines. Symptoms often come and go, and cause severe discomfort.

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins near your lower rectum or your anus. The walls of these veins get irritated and bulge, especially during defecation.

Diverticular disease refers to bulges or pouches along the intestine that form over time. Researchers believe this disease is caused by a low fiber diet.

Colorectal polyps, also often called colon polyps, are small growths on the inner lining of your large intestine. They may be scattered through your colon.

Colorectal cancer (also called colon cancer) is cancer of the large intestine (colon) or rectum. More than 95% of colorectal cancers are adenocarcinomas.
