CDC guidelines recommend you start regular screenings at 45 years old to prevent colorectal cancer. If you are younger than 45 or older than 75 and think you may be at a higher risk, you should talk to your primary provider about screening.

The CDC states that since you may not experience symptoms of polyps and colorectal cancer immediately, it’s very important to get screened regularly.
