Early signs of colorectal cancer
Polyps cause the majority of tumors in the colon and rectum; therefore, screening for and removing them when they first appear will help prevent them from developing into cancers.
Here are some of the most common early symptoms of colorectal cancer:
- Rectal bleeding: This can be visible on the toilet paper or if you can see any blood in the stool. Keep in mind that this symptom can also be caused by hemorrhoids;
- Changes in bowel habits: You may notice that the consistency, appearance, or frequency of your stools has changed;
- Abdominal pain: You begin to have cramps in the lower part of your abdomen and sometimes in the lower part of your back, and you can also feel bloated constantly;
- Unexplained weight loss: suddenly you start to lose weight without changing anything in your diet or the level of physical activity;
- Weaknesses and constant fatigue: You are getting enough sleep but you are still feeling very tired.
Now, we are going to take a look at the signs that can indicate your cancer has secretly spread to other organs.

I find it alarming how experiencing frequent abdominal pain and sudden weight change could be signs that you have colon cancer. I can see how visiting a medical professional that specializes in gastrointestinal care is a good idea for your case. I will consider trying this out if I get into a similar problem someday.
