BOWEL CANCER - EARLY SIGNS

BOWEL CANCER – EARLY SIGNS

The early symptoms of bowel cancer include;

Stomach pain

This may involve bloating, abdominal pain, and discomfort.

Unexplained weight loss

Losing weight suddenly and unintentionally could be a warning sign to look out for.

Weakness

Weakness and fatigue could be due to a lack of iron, which causes anemia. The cancer cells may also be depleting your energy stores, making you weak.

Inconsistent bowel habits

Diarrhea, constipation, stool narrowing, and a change in stool consistency can signal bowel cancer.

The work of a family doctor includes a wide range of clinical diversity, which requires extensive knowledge and erudition from a specialist. However, I believe that the most important thing for a family doctor is to be human because the cooperation and understanding between the doctor and the patient are crucial in ensuring successful health care. On my days off, I love being in nature. Since childhood, I have been passionate about playing chess and tennis. Whenever I have time off, I enjoy traveling around the world.
