hi there..i am a 49 yr old female with history of divericulitis and hemmoroids and bleeding as well as chronic anemia..i have asked my dr. to request a colonoscopy...i am wondering if in your opinion this would warrant an \"urgent\" requisition...at least 80-90% of my bowel  movements result in bleeding and hemmorhoids...
A periodic colonoscopy is recommended starting at age 50, and earlier if you have a family history of colon cancer. Anemia and bleeding from the bowels are also indications to get a colonoscopy. Diverticulosis is also a cause of colon bleeding. My opinion is that you have many indications to get a colonoscopy promptly. Hope this answers your query. If you have more questions, I would be happy to answer them.
