Colon Problems

The colon, also known as the large intestine, is the final section of the digestive system that forms stool from indigestible food matter and eliminates it from the body. It absorbs water and electrolytes from digested food, processes waste products, and stores them until they are expelled from the body. The colon is a long, tube-like organ, and its parts include the cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon, which leads to the rectum and anus.
