I had hemorrhoids pretty bad a few years ago. I went to the doctor and he checked them out. First time ever I had a guy look that close at me. I had to go out for a smoke afterwards. Lol! They sucked though. Only thing I could do to keep them from flaring up was sitting in a HOT bath for an hour or so every night. Just soaked the crap outta them, literally. :) Ever since then, I’m pretty nervous about that part of my body. I was probably 35 when I had them puppies and I’m 40 now.
Hemorrhoids wouldn't be a symptom. Basically what it means is your doctor is telling you to get a colonoscopy as a preventative measure rather than having something that concerns them.
I don't know what the odds of having colon cancer at 40 are, but they would be extremely low. 90% of all colon cancers occur after 50.
