Cancer poses life-threatening risks, especially in the absence of a cure, and the deadly disease is associated with many signs, especially since it takes many forms, all of which result from the rapid spread of infected cells.
There is a wide range of symptoms associated with the disease, but not all warning signs are clear-cut, and in general the symptoms are concentrated in the diseased organs. When cancer affects the intestine, most people can expect two changes when going to the toilet, according to the express website.
Cancer is common in the colon and rectum, but unfortunately, neither of them results in obvious symptoms in the initial stages. However, early detection of the disease is crucial for treatment.
This is because the disease often spreads to other parts of the body, which makes it difficult to contain. Cancer Research UK explains that advanced bowel cancer is cancer that started either in the back passage (rectum) or large intestine (colon) and has spread to another part of the body.
Symptoms depend on which part of the body the cancer has spread to. General symptoms associated with bowel cancer include fatigue, loss of appetite and low energy levels.
Symptoms of bowel cancer
According to the NHS, more than 90 per cent of people with bowel cancer have one of the following combinations of symptoms affecting their bowel:
Those affected may experience a persistent change in bowel habit, defecation often with loose, runny stools and sometimes abdominal pain.
They notice blood in the stool without other symptoms of hemorrhoids – this makes it unlikely that the cause is hemorrhoids.
Occasionally, symptoms may include a lump that can be felt by a doctor in the back passage or stomach, most commonly on the right side, according to Cancer Research UK.
Cancer prevention
Deaths from bowel cancer have decreased significantly over the past decade, and awareness of early warning signs has proven to be very beneficial. Screening, early detection and better treatment have greatly boosted survival rates as well.
Researchers continue to stress the importance of prevention, however, and this can be done in several ways, including the following:
Staying slim and active is essential because obesity increases the risk of dying from cancer by 1.5 times.
You should also avoid certain foods, such as processed and smoked meals, because they contain chemicals called nitrosamines.
Some research suggests that taking a daily low-dose aspirin may reduce the risk of bowel cancer following five years, but the potential risks of this may outweigh the benefits, so always consult your health practitioner first.
