What are the early symptoms of colon polyps?

When colon polyps occur, we must also pay attention to the correct response and solution. Usually patients often show symptoms of abdominal distension, diarrhea or abdominal pain, and some will also have symptoms of bleeding after defecation. We must pay attention when these symptoms occur.

1. The primary symptom of patients with colon polyps is changes in their daily bowel habits. Specifically, it manifests as changes in the time and frequency of bowel movements, as well as constipation or unexplained diarrhea. Especially when constipation and diarrhea occur alternately or cause abdominal pain, you should be more vigilant.

2. In addition, if the stool characteristics are different from those in daily life, you should be alert to colon polyps. Experts say that normal feces should be cylindrical, but if polyps are in the colon cavity and compress the feces, they will often become thinner or flat when discharged, and sometimes even have blood stains attached. People should pay attention to this.

3. Blood in the stool is one of the main symptoms of colon polyps, and it is also the symptom that is most easily misdiagnosed. Patients with colon polyps are most likely to have bloody stools, but many people mistake bloody stools for symptoms of hemorrhoids, which delays the best time for treatment. Experts say that bleeding caused by hemorrhoids is often bright red blood dripping after defecation, and it does not bleed at other times. But bleeding caused by colon polyps is often mixed in with the stool.

4. In fact, these symptoms are small details in life. As long as we pay more attention to them, we can discover them in time. If you are sick, you must find it early and treat it early, and don't delay.
