Early stages of Colorectal Cancer do not usually have symptoms.
Advanced disease may cause:
- Rectal bleeding or blood in stool
- Change in bowel habits or stools that are narrower than usual
- Stomach discomfort (bloating, cramps)
- Diarrhea, constipation or feeling that the bowel does not empty completely
- Unexplained weight loss
- Constant fatigue
- Vomiting
- Jaundice
If you feel that you have any of these symptoms, call your doctor immediately. Other conditions such as infections, hemorrhoids and inflammatory bowel disease can also cause these symptoms.
