What Does Mean Average Risk-v 76.51 For Colorectal Cancer?
My colonoscopy indicated chronic constipation and it said that recall screening for colerectal cancer, average risk - v76.51 means what? I guess that is what they used as a reason for the procedure. Also the pictures shows terminal ileum, melanosis coli, appendiceal orifice, ileo cecal valve, and retroflexed view of the rectum, as a result of over use of laxatives for years, which the Dr. was not really concerned but put me on a laxative. Does that make sense?
