There are early signs, if you appear, that tell you that you have colon cancer. If you notice these signs, do not ignore them because you are not exposed to health problems that affect your life. Colon cancer is one of the types of cancer that begins in the large intestine, and it also affects older adults, although it appears at any age, as it appears in the form of small lumps, inside the colon and over time turns into cancer, according to the “Mayo Clinic” website. . Causes Colon cancer occurs when changes arise in the DNA, where healthy cells grow and divide to keep the body’s functions functioning normally. Although when DNA is damaged and cancer develops, cells continue to divide even when no new cells are needed, and the cells aggregate and form a large tumor. Symptoms A permanent change in bowel movement. A change in the daily bowel habit, whether diarrhea or constipation, or a change in stool consistency. Presence of anal bleeding. Noticing blood in the stool. The most common symptoms: the presence of persistent abdominal disturbances. Painful cramps, gas, or pain. Feeling that the bowel is not completely empty. Weakness or fatigue. Unexplained weight loss. Factors that increase the risk of infection: The elderly, that is, those over the age of 50. People with inflammatory bowel diseases. People with ulcerative colitis are more likely to develop colon cancer. Having a family history of colon cancer. Follow a low-fiber, high-fat diet.
