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.
