Differential Diagnosis

The differential diagnosis includes colon cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, ischemic colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as a number of urological and gynecological processes.

Some patients report bleeding from the rectum.

Patients with the above symptoms are commonly studied with a computed tomography, or CT scan.[1]
