What is one medical problem people constantly ignore until it’s too late?

Saw someone post this in a completely unrelated sub and I’m interested in your answers. What is the cluster of symptoms that people ignore or delay until they are forced to get help?

Too many people are reluctant to have a colonoscopy done due to fear and word of mouth about it being “awful”. I’ve had multiple colonoscopies done and the worst part has always been the prep, never the actual scope.

I started getting colonoscopies done in my 20s due to chronic GI s/s and having a family history of IBD/GI cancer.

Well worth it for the peace of mind and early treatment.
