Recognizing the signs and symptoms of colon cancer may be tricky because they may be caused by something unrelated. That’s the nature of our delicate digestive system. It’s important to pay attention to how your gut is functioning because it might be trying to tell you something. Here’s a list of symptoms that colon cancer might cause:
Diarrhea, constipation or change in bowel movements
Rectal bleeding or bloody stool
Constant abdominal pain or cramps
Feeling like your bowel doesn’t empty all the way
Weakness or fatigue
Unexplained weight loss
Keep in mind, early stages of colon cancer may likely not cause any symptoms at all. But, if any of these sounds familiar, schedule a visit with your doctor right away.
