Rectal cancer symptoms

Rectal cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the rectum, the last several inches of the large intestine closest to the anus.
Recognizing the symptoms of rectal cancer early can be crucial for effective treatment and management.
Common symptoms of rectal cancer include changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea, constipation, or a change in the consistency of your stool that lasts longer than a few days.
You may also experience rectal bleeding or blood in your stool, which can appear bright red or very dark.
Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas, or pain, is another symptom to watch for, along with a feeling that your bowel doesn't empty completely.
Unexplained weight loss and fatigue are also potential indicators of rectal cancer.
It's important to note that these symptoms can be caused by conditions other than rectal cancer, such as hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, or inflammatory bowel disease.
However, if you experience any of these symptoms, especially if they persist, it's crucial to seek medical advice promptly.
Early detection of rectal cancer can significantly improve the chances of successful treatment.
