The symptoms of bowel cancer can vary, and they may not appear until the cancer is advanced. Some common symptoms include: *Persistent abdominal pain, discomfort, or cramping *A change in bowel habits, such as constipation or diarrhea *Rectal bleeding or blood in the stool *A feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation *Fatigue, weakness, or a loss of appetite *Unexplained weight loss *Anemia *A lump or mass in the abdomen It's important to note that these symptoms can be caused by other conditions, not just bowel cancer. However, if you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. It's also worth noting that some people with bowel cancer may not have any symptoms at all. This is why regular screenings for colon cancer are recommended for people over 50 or those with a family history of colon cancer.
