Certain conditions can also affect fertility, so it may make sense to get treatment before spending a full six months or a year trying to get pregnant naturally. Talk to your doctor if you have a history of: 1  Pelvic inflammatory disease. 2  Fibroids. 3  Endometriosis. 4  Polycystic ovary syndrome. 5  Sexually transmitted infection such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. 6  Blocked fallopian tubes from an infection, ectopic pregnancy, or previous surgery. 7  Previous pelvic or abdominal surgery.
You should have a colonoscopy every 10 years starting at age 50. Alternatively, you may get a flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years, a double-contrast barium enema every five years or a CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every five years. However, a colonoscopy will be needed if any of those results are positive.
The age at which you should get your colonoscopy is sometimes known as your âcolonoscopy age.â Adults who are at average risk for colon cancer should have a baseline colonoscopy at the age of 50 and every 10 years thereafter if the colonoscopy is clear, but age 50 is not the magic number for all people.or example, if your mother was diagnosed at age 45 with colon cancer, you should have your first screening at age 35. Recent studies are showing that family history plays a more important role than previously thought.
