When should you get tested for colorectal cancer?

I’m in my 40s and recently started wondering whether I should be screened for colorectal cancer. I don’t have any major symptoms, but there is a history of bowel problems in my family, which has made me a little concerned. For those who have gone through screening, what made you decide to see a doctor, and what kind of tests did they recommend?

I would not wait until symptoms become severe, especially since we have a similar experience with a family history. When I started having changes in my bowel movements and some bleeding, I saw Dr Chew Min Hoe, who arranged a colonoscopy as part of my check for colorectal cancer in Singapore. He found and removed a polyp during the procedure. If you have a family history or notice changes in your bowel habits, I would strongly recommend speaking to a doctor and getting checked.☺️
