Reg colorectal cancer

I have been having mild abdomen pain for about two months. Showed it to two different doctors, got an abdominal ultrasound done and they said everything's normal and gave medicine for gastric trouble. However I'm really worried since I'm also getting occassional constipation and slightly flat stools at times though I did not notice any blood. Should I just go to a proctologist and get it checked out?

Intramucosal andenocarcinoma

Good evening Doctor. I had intramucosal adenocarcinoma of the rectum about 9 years ago, arising from a tubulovillous adenoma (2 × 2 cm), moderately differentiated, with no invasion beyond the muscularis mucosa. Only polypectomy was done, and no further treatment was required. The report showed MSI negative / MMR proficient. At that time MRI pelvis and CT scan were normal, and post-polypectomy site biopsy showed no dysplasia or malignancy. Follow-up done regularly: • Colonoscopy – about 10 times, all normal (last on 12 November 2025) • USG whole abdomen – 10 times, all normal • Blood tests – about 6 times, normal • Chest X-ray (PA) – 4 times, normal Kindly advise the appropriate interval for future surveillance colonoscopy. Also, if a new polyp appears in future, would it necessarily be malignant in my case, or usually benign? . Kindly send your advice by SMS when convenient. Thank you.

Ye toh pta hai ki cancer ki koi age nhi but for the precautions physically toh we can see lump nd all ya fir any sudden change but apart from this is there any test
