What are the symptoms of colon cancer?

Colon cancer is a very terrible disease, so people should be aware of the symptoms of the disease in their daily lives. Only in this way can they go to the hospital for treatment in time and effectively inhibit the sustainable development of their condition. At present, most patients with colon cancer will have obvious symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomfort and abdominal masses, and will also have diseases such as intestinal obstruction. Most patients will also have poisoning.

1. Gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms

In the early stages of colon cancer, the patient's body will have obvious gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms, such as indigestion and bloating. At the same time, most patients will have obvious abdominal pain, but it is generally dull pain. Especially in the early stages, the symptoms of most patients are usually intermittent, and as the disease worsens, they gradually turn into persistent symptoms. At the same time, patients often find that their bowel habits have also changed significantly.

2. Abdominal mass

Colon cancer patients basically have symptoms of abdominal masses, which are relatively hard in texture and irregular in shape, and will show certain signs of activity with intestinal movement. In the late stage, due to severe infiltration of tumors in the body, the mass is fixed.

3. Intestinal obstruction

Many patients with colon cancer experience symptoms of incomplete or complete low bowel obstruction, such as abdominal pain and constipation. At the same time, many patients also experience hyperactive bowel sounds due to the onset of intestinal obstruction and may experience symptoms such as abdominal distension.

4. Poisoning

Many patients with colon cancer also experience symptoms of poisoning in the early stages of the disease. This is mainly because colon cancer tumors often ulcerate and bleed. When the body absorbs toxins, signs of poisoning will appear. Generally, the patient's body will show obvious symptoms such as anemia and low fever. The most common of these are anemia and weight loss.
