There are some symptoms of colon cancer that can give a subjective description of the patient. If get these symptoms, the doctor will usually proceed with a physical examination to explore the characteristics of colon cancers that occur.
Bleeding from the rectum or blood mixed with feces (stool) are symptoms caused by bowel cancer. People generally think of all the anus is bleeding hemorrhoids, but not all because of rectal bleeding could be caused by bowel cancer, so it needs to be done early diagnosis if there is bleeding in the anus.
Bleeding in the rectum if normally accompanies the symptoms of colon cancer, but the characteristics of colon cancer is usually hidden and chronic, and consequently may appear iron deficiency anemia. Blood deficiency (anemia) is associated with fatigue and pale in patients. To diagnose this condition is usually medical teams detected through fecal occult blood tests and performed, in which stool samples submitted to laboratories for detecting the presence of blood.
If the cancer is large enough, may be part or the entire colon is blocked. The following are symptoms of intestinal obstruction:
? Abdominal distension: the stomach to be bigger than ever before without weight gain.
? Abdominal pain: rare in colon cancer. Perforation of the intestine. Leakage of intestinal contents into the pelvis can cause inflammation (peritonitis) and infection.
? Nausea or vomiting continuously
? Changes in frequency or character of stool (bowel movements)
? Caliber small (narrow)
? sensation of incomplete evacuation after defecation
? Rectal pain: Pain rarely occurs with colon cancer and usually shows a large tumor in the rectum that may invade surrounding tissue.
Studies show that the average duration of symptoms (from initial diagnosis) is 14 weeks. There was no association between overall duration of symptoms and stage of the symptoms of bowel cancer.
