The first noticeable symptom of bowel cancer that targets most people is a change in bowel habits. When bowel cancer strikes, it changes the colour, frequency, consistency and odour of your bowel movements.
How to Identify It
Although laxative use, depression or anxiety, exercise, travel and certain medications can affect your bowel movement, a change in bowel movement caused by bowel cancer usually doesn’t go away after a few days or worsens.
What to Do Once You Notice It
See your doctor or physician as soon as possible. Your healthcare provider will help you understand whether the symptom is connected with bowel cancer or other conditions, including celiac disease, constipation, Crohn’s disease, IBS or ulcerative colitis.

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.
