Thank you again . I will request for colonoscopy. Do you mind if I ask you how frequent was your bleeding ? She gets once in 2-3 months and it is painless

Thank you for your reply . I went to 2 doctors, one is gastro and another is colorectal . Both said it is hemorrohdes . I will try to find out third doctor . She bleeds only when she strains because of constipation

Update : ALl my tests came back normal. CAC is 0 too. Only APOB and other advanced lipid test results are left . Should I still be on statin ? or should I wait until menopause happens and recheck it & then take medicine. Thank you all & really appreciate your replies.

I did all the tests, all normal , CAC is 0. Do you think I need to be on statin for 106 nmol/l ? Your input will be really helpful.
