Common Warning Signs of Colon Cancer
Many of these symptoms of colon cancer slowly develop which makes diagnosis challenging. The American Cancer Society has urged people to be more aware, noting that these symptoms may often be dismissed as other conditions, but it’s crucial to seek the help of professionals just in case. Some common symptoms include:
- Changes in bowel habits (e.g., diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of stool).
- Blood in stool or rectal bleeding.
- Persistent abdominal pain or cramping.
- Unexplained weight loss.
- Weakness or fatigue.
