What are the early symptoms of colorectal cancer

People in life always have troubles, so diseases are the most difficult for people like us. In order to allow more people to detect colorectal cancer early, we will introduce to you today the most typical symptoms of early colorectal cancer. We hope that through our introduction below, we can all detect colorectal cancer well and cure it early.

Early symptoms of colorectal cancer:

First: Abdominal pain and bloating

Colorectal cancer causes intestinal obstruction, causing varying degrees of abdominal pain and bloating. Abdominal pain often occurs. Patients often experience pain in the middle and lower abdomen, but the severity varies, ranging from dull pain to severe pain.

Second: Anemia and weight loss

As the disease progresses, the patient's body also begins to change. Anemia and weight loss are also common early symptoms of colorectal cancer. Blood in the stool and loss of appetite will aggravate the symptoms of weight loss and anemia. In more serious cases, cachexia may also occur.

Third: bloody stool

When the colorectal cancer tumor ruptures, the patient's stool may contain blood, dark red or bright red blood, mixed with blood and stool. In some cases, mucus stool may be excreted, indicating that the patient's condition is more serious. Although blood in the stool is an early symptom of colorectal cancer, it is not obvious enough and is easily ignored or misdiagnosed.

Fourth: Changes in bowel habits

The number of bowel movements increases to two or three times a day, and there is still a feeling of incomplete bowel movements after defecation. When the tumor is large and affects intestinal function, constipation and diarrhea may occur alternately, which may indicate the possibility of cancer.

We all should be relatively clear about the most typical symptoms of early colorectal cancer. We don’t want to have such a disease ourselves, so we must make efforts for ourselves in normal times.
