Melanosis Coli is caused by the accumulation of pigments called lipofuscin in the colon, typically due to the breakdown of cells or cellular debris. This condition can also occur in individuals who have a history of chronic constipation or prolonged contact with certain medications or toxins, even if laxatives are not used.
