What are the early symptoms of colorectal cancer?

1. Abdominal distension and pain. The cause is due to intestinal dysfunction or intestinal obstruction. The location is mostly concentrated in the middle and lower abdomen, mostly dull pain or distending pain, and there is a tendency to gradually worsen.

2. Blood in the stool. Because the lesion is close to the anus, the blood is often bright red or dark red, and often separated from the stool. Only when the amount of bleeding is large, the stool will be brown-red and jam-like. Among patients with right-sided colon cancer, 36.5% have visible blood in the stool. This is also an early symptom of colorectal cancer.

3. Anemia: When chronic blood loss exceeds the body's hematopoietic compensatory function, patients may experience anemia, an early symptom of colorectal cancer. Tumor obstruction: When the tumor grows to a considerable size or infiltrates the intestinal wall muscle layer, it can cause intestinal stenosis, shrinking the intestinal cavity, and obstructing the passage of intestinal contents.

4. Changes in bowel habits and characteristics. Patients with rectal cancer may have more bowel movements, but not much each time, or even no stool at all, only some mucus and blood, and a feeling of incomplete bowel movements. Changes in bowel habits and frequency, as well as constipation or unexplained diarrhea may occur only when the colorectal tumor is relatively large and has erosion, ulcers or infection. If the cancer grows protruding into the rectal cavity, causing the intestinal cavity to be relatively narrow, the stool discharged will often become thinner and deformed, and may be flat, and sometimes some blood will be attached to the deformed stool.
