How bowel cancer manifests itself in the early stages. List of signs that should be alarming.
Unfortunately, this deadly disease at first looks like ordinary indigestion. Early symptoms of colorectal cancer (bowel cancer) are often ignored. People write them off for digestive problems.
What is important to pay attention to.
- Constant feeling of heaviness in the stomach after eating;
- Nausea;
- Aversion to fatty or fried foods;
- Appetite became worse;
- Sudden weight loss for no reason;
- A feeling of heaviness and dull pain below the stomach;
- Anemia (a decrease in the level of hemoglobin in the blood);
- Defecation disorders replace each other. Sometimes diarrhea occurs, then constipation;
- Blood in the stool.
It is worth noting that colon cancer most often occurs in people over 50 years old. In the risk zone, people who have diseases of the digestive system lead an unhealthy lifestyle (smoking, poor nutrition, alcoholism). Unfortunately, it has been proven that this type of cancer is also genetically determined. If someone in the family has bowel cancer, it is worth taking care and getting examined twice a year.
In men, by the way, bowel cancer ranks second among all malignant tumors, in women it ranks third.
