As a medical professional, I would like to emphasize the importance of being aware of the early warning signs of bowel cancer. It's crucial to recognize these signs and seek medical advice promptly to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. Here are some of the early warning signs of bowel cancer: 1. A persistent change in bowel habit: This could mean going to the bathroom more often than usual, with looser stools, and sometimes experiencing abdominal pain. 2. Blood in the stools: If you notice blood in your stool without having other symptoms of haemorrhoids, this can be a sign of bowel cancer. It's important to note that while haemorrhoids can also cause blood in the stool, the absence of other haemorrhoid symptoms makes it less likely that they are the cause. More than 90% of people with bowel cancer exhibit one or more of these symptoms. If you or someone you know is experiencing these signs, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. read more >>
