Abnormal bowel movements are one of the symptoms of rectal cancer

The symptoms of early colorectal cancer are not very obvious. They are mostly painless blood in the stool, bloody stool with mucus, and increased bowel movements. The patient is not in great pain, so they are often ignored. Let's take a look at the specific manifestations of the symptoms of colorectal cancer.

The main symptoms of rectal cancer are as follows:

1. The symptoms of rectal cancer include abdominal pain: generally dull pain or distending pain, which may not be obvious in the early stage but becomes more obvious in the later stage.

2. Abnormal defecation: The main manifestations are anal swelling, a feeling of incomplete defecation, increased bowel movements, loose stools, and stools with mucus or blood. When the rectal cancer is large, it can narrow the intestinal cavity, causing the stool to become thinner and difficult to defecate. In severe cases, the intestinal cavity is blocked and the patient cannot defecate or pass gas. At this time, the patient will have a bloated abdomen, which manifests as "intestinal obstruction."

3. Blood in the stool is also a symptom of rectal cancer: the color is mostly bright red or dark red, and the blood is mostly attached to the surface of the stool. Sometimes the blood in the stool cannot be distinguished by the naked eye, and a fecal occult blood test is required to detect it.

4. Patients with mid-to-late stage rectal cancer may also experience symptoms such as weight loss, general weakness, and even fever.
