Symptoms of Colon Cancer

In the early stages, colon cancer usually doesn't have symptoms. As the disease progresses, which can take years, symptoms include :

  • Blood in stools
  • Persistent constipation, diarrhea, or other bowel changes
  • Thinner stools
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Abdominal pain and discomfort- generally feeling full, bloated, or cramping
  • Abdominal tenderness or pain
  • Fatigue

These colon cancer symptoms are not unique and can also be symptoms of many other conditions. It is still advisable to seek medical advice to ensure you are alright.
