Two things that I can see. First, more screening means more detection. Second, genetically modified food and the standard American diet results in a myriad of health problems.
Call me crazy, but if this is the first study of this age group, then how can they claim a "troubling increase" in the polyps?
Believe me, you’ll want the sedation
They have it down to a science, the doctor walks in, the nurse says count to ten, by 3 your out. Next thing you remember is the doctor standing at your bed when you wake up at the exact time he begins speaking.
No thanks - but considering I’ve had two radial approach catheterizations with nothing but Versed on board (fully awake and could feel the thing bumping against my heart at times), I don’t know why a proctologist wouldn’t do a scope with light sedation.
Big Pharma invented modern day “cancer” 100 years ago - create the problem that you sell the drugs to “cure”.
You cannot party hard and let your freak flag fly if the patient is awake....
Had mine done just yesterday! For me, the sedation was a much appreciated nap. As an aside, they found higher than average polyps, which surprised me cuz I’m not a big red meat eater. Hope you get yours, soon!
My youngest son, age 48 at the time, was diagnosed with cancerous polyps in 2019. The doctor told him the polyps were so big, he'd wish he'd come to see him 10 years earlier. He would have been 38 at the time, but they didn't do cancer screening on people that young back then. My son had surgery...two re-sections. They also took out at least 70 lymph nodes, and he went through 6 months of chemo. He's cancer-free, but as a mother, I can't help but worry, because he still smokes occasionally. Everyone in my family smoked but me. Three died of lung cancer, one of a stroke, and my only brother at 51, of a massive heart attack. I'm the last one left. The oldest lived to be 74, so if I make it to 75, I'll be lucky.
I won’t do this. Wouldn’t drink the laxative solution to begin with.
were these patients given vaccines? of any kind?
My mom gets her endoscopy and colonoscopy done here in LA without sedation..she refuses it, never has had it done never will. With me Ive always done it with profofol I wont do it any other way, I say the magic words “Knock me out” and its done..best sleep Ive ever had. Some doctors only do it with sedation so keep looking around, if you make the request to do it without sedation or very little sedation they will do it if that is what you want
People under 50 have grown up with fast food, high pop intake, and nearly all processed foods.
No wonder.
Could it be caused by vaccinations impacting immunity?
I woke up during my first one. Doctor did not like that.
A sigmoid scope can be done under light sedation if I remember correctly.
Title: Increasing incidence of early-onset colorectal precancerous lesions in patients under age 50
Body: ... based on a large, nationally representative study of patients under age 50 who underwent colonoscopy...

In order to conclude what the article concludes the study would have to screen random cross sections of the 45-49 year old population in different years. This study did not do that. It merely gathered statistical data on the screening results of people who were screened for cancer in different years. One possible conclusion would be that fewer people were screened in later studies, people with more pronounced symptoms. And that would fit with the reluctance of candidates to get screened in a medical facility during COVID. Another possible conclusion would be that pre-selection of screening candidates improved over time.
This study was not capable of saying whether or not the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing among 45-49 year olds. I remember back in the 1980s when oncologists were drumming up screening business based on new tests for the presence of blood in the stool. It turned out that virtually everyone has blood in the stool at some point.
Not everyone has cancer.
See if your doctor will let you use the Cologuard test instead. If you get a negative on that they probably will deem that sufficient.

People stopped eating home cooked meals. They eat garbage now. Is there any wonder why this happens?
