5 Symptoms of Colon Cancer you should not ignore - Dr. Parameshwara C M
Colon Cancer can present with a simple bleed. They can present with loss of weight, loss of appetite, alteration in bowel habits like alternating constipation diarrhea and pain abdomen. Unfortunately most people when they notice a bleed in the stools or blood in the stools, they ignore for years together. After getting serious they don’t reach the specialist hospitals. They reach the quacks. My serious concern is whenever people notice blood in the stools, they must not ignore that. It may also be due to Colon Cancer. It may be due to hemorrhoids, or simple fissures or any colorectal problems. But bleeding in stools can be very alarming. Patent and consult specialists immediately. So my sincere request is don’t go to quacks. Those who have gone to quacks have missed colon cancer and have landed with us in the end stage here we could not do anything, people who presented early , we have operated them and they can lead a good quality of life. Other than bleeding per rectum if there is loss of weight loss of appetite alteration in bowel habits, family history of colon cancer, I would recommend screening after 40 years. screening for Colon Cancer is not done in India it is more common in the west. According to the studies by 2030, there will be a 30% increase in Colon Cancers in 30 years age group, that is very alarming what America a is facing right now, we will face after 50 years. So this is where India has to take care of our lifestyle and make sure that Colon Cancer is prevented. The only cancer that can be treated and prevented is Colon Cancer. So my sincere message is if there is a bleeding per rectum, don’t ignore it , it can be a Colon Cancer.
