Common Causes & Risk Factors
Several factors may increase the risk of colorectal disease and the eventual need for colorectal treatment Delhi.
Genetic Predisposition
Family history of colorectal cancer, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), and Lynch syndrome can significantly raise the risk of serious colorectal conditions.
Age & Lifestyle Factors
Advancing age, smoking, obesity, low-fibre diet, sedentary habits, and excessive alcohol consumption may contribute to colorectal disease.
Diverticular Disease
Long-term bowel pressure and dietary factors can lead to diverticula formation, which may become inflamed, infected, or complicated over time.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can cause chronic inflammation and damage to the bowel, sometimes requiring surgery with the colon rectal surgeon Delhi.
Symptoms of Colorectal Conditions
Changes in Bowel Habits
Persistent constipation, diarrhea, narrow stools, or changes in bowel pattern should not be ignored.

Chronic cramps, abdominal discomfort, gas, or bloating may be associated with bowel inflammation, obstruction, or growths.

To diagnose colorectal conditions accurately, Dr. Saurabh Bansal, colorectal surgeon in Delhi, uses a thorough and evidence-based evaluation process.

Blood tests and related investigations help assess infection, anaemia, inflammation, and the patient’s overall fitness for surgery.
