Understanding Colon Cancer

Understanding Colon Cancer

The disease begins in the colon or the large intestine (the last section of the alimentary canal). It usually begins with polyps, which are outgrowths or benign tumour clusters that evolve into malignancies over time. Although colon cancer is a disease common among the elderly, it can, however, affect anyone. Cancer can generally be treated if it is detected early enough and managed appropriately.

Symptoms of Colon Cancer

Colon Cancer can manifest in several ways. Here’s a breakdown of the common signs to watch out for:

Changes in Frequency of Defecation

Other patients may however notice an alteration of the habit of bowel motion which may take the form of irreversible changes that persist for a long time, like diarrhea, constipation or alternation of a certain stool. If this alteration persists for over a few weeks, it is appropriate to see a doctor.

Blood in the Stool

Blood in the stool is by far one of the more visible symptoms. It can vary from red to black or tarry. Blood in the stool is always alarming, and one should immediately consult a doctor since it could range from colorectal cancer to any other digestive disorder.

Abdominal Pain and Cramping

The most common but severe symptoms may be discomfort or pain in a colon cancer-affected area known as the abdomen. Patients often complain of sharp cramps followed by bloating or a persistent ache in the lower region of the abdomen. These pains are likely to increase with the increase of the cancer cells in the body.

Sudden Decrease in Weight

Unexplained Weight Loss

In the case of losing weight without changing the diet and exercise habits, colon cancer could be the reason. This is because the cancer cells are scattered in the bones and interfere with the body’s ability to absorb nutrients.

Fatigue and Weakness

It is common for a cancer patient to feel weak and tired due to colon cancer among other illnesses regardless of how much sleep they get. This is usually caused by the amount of bleeding from the tumor, or how the body processes cancer cells.

Sense of Reluctance to Bear Down or Incomplete Evacuation

In some cases, patients receive a sense or a feeling of incomplete evacuation of the bowel in such a way that they feel they have not fully passed all contents required to be passed. This can even result from a tumour causing a blockage in the colon.

Gastroenterologist

The Role of a Gastroenterologist

A gastroenterologist is highly skilled in diagnosing and treating digestive conditions, including colon cancer. They conduct thorough evaluations, identify potential risks, and create a personalized treatment plan to manage the disease effectively. With a focus on early detection and comprehensive care, they help improve digestive health and overall well-being.
