What Is Colorectal Cancer?
Colorectal cancer develops in the large intestine (colon) or rectum and is often linked to lifestyle factors, diet, or genetics. Early detection is critical, as symptoms may not appear until the disease has progressed. Colonoscopy can also prevent colorectal cancer through the identification and removal of polyps if they are detected. Regular screenings can help detect colorectal cancer early when treatment is most effective.
Signs and Symptoms of Colorectal Cancer
Recognizing the symptoms of colorectal cancer is crucial for timely intervention.
Common Symptoms Include:
Blood in stool or rectal bleeding
Persistent abdominal pain, cramps, or bloating
Changes in bowel habits lasting more than a few weeks
Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
A feeling that the bowel doesn’t empty completely
If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a healthcare professional immediately.
