Pre-existing complications make me prone to cancer?

Alex M - First some explanation, then some thoughts, then some suggestions. Meconium ileus is caused by lack of some nerve cells in the intestinal wall which then leads to an inability to move your bowels. It is "cured" by removing the piece of bowel missing the needed nerve cells. You had that! It is not connected with any malignancy. Yes, an undescended testis in an adult can sometimes increase the chances of developing a malignancy. A truly undescended testicle is therefore commonly surgically removed before your 18th birthday, Many undescended testes present at birth do descend by themselves or after hormone treatment. Cancer is a rare result. Your weight loss and loose bowel movements are of concern and need to be evaluated by a visit to your physician who will check your diet, use of any medicines you've been taking, and a stool sample for any parasites or bacterial infections. Please visit your doctor this week for some help and answers.
