[|Human|] I recently had 2 units of blood transfusion because of anemia and low iron deficiency. My hemoglobin was 7. I was sent for a colonoscopy and they removed polyps and I was deemed to having a very twisted colon. I had my CT Scan on Thursday and it will take 2 weeks before my results are sent to the doctor. My doctor called and wants me to begin iron intraveneously weekly because my iron is low and my hemoglobin levels has lowered since my transfusions. Unfortunately, I am in constant pain and by the end of the day I am so bloated and uncomfortable. Is this a concern for colon cancer?
[|AI|]  Low hemoglobin and bloating pain does not cause colon cancer. However, they may be the presenting symptoms of colon cancer as the cancer continues to bleed until treated. Since your hemoglobin continues to fall despite transfusions and there were polyps inside your colon, there is a definite concern for the same. The biopsy report of the polyps that have been removed, and the CT scan will clear the picture.
