Therefore, relying on the symptoms to determine whether you should screen for colon cancer is not recommended. Regular screening can catch the disease in its early stages, when colorectal cancer is easier to treat and eliminate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Colon Cancer Symptoms<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symptoms of colon cancer are the same as the symptoms of many other conditions affecting your digestive system. Conditions that can produce symptoms similar to colon cancer are: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hemorrhoids<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Irritable bowel syndrome<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various infections<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ulcerative colitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crohn\u2019s disease\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may or may not have colon cancer if you have any of the following <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/cancer\/colon-rectal-cancer\/detection-diagnosis-staging\/signs-and-symptoms.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">symptoms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. See a doctor to exclude colon cancer as a possible cause.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>An unusual shift in your bowel habits<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You may have diarrhea, constipation, or thin, narrow stool. Such changes may occur normally. But if they last for more than a few days, you should let your doctor know.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Abdominal discomfort<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Pain, an excess of gas, and cramps accompany many abdominal conditions. When these symptoms persist, you should screen for colon cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Blood in your stool<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Colorectal cancer can cause blood in your stool. Some colon cancer screening methods look for traces of blood. The blood seeping into your stool can make it darker in color to the point of appearing black. Colon bleeding may not always paint your stool black, however. Sometimes, a low red blood cell count in a blood test is the only way to tell that you are losing blood through your intestine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bright red blood in your stool<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Rectal cancer can cause bleeding into your stool from the end of your digestive tract. Your body is unable to digest this blood, so it appears bright red.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Inexplicable and unintended weight loss. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you lose weight without any significant changes to your diet and lifestyle, you may have a health problem. Colon cancer can cause unwanted weight loss, seemingly out of the blue. See a doctor if this happens to you.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The inability to gain relief<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Feeling like you have to \u201cgo\u201d again right after a bowel movement can be a colorectal cancer symptom as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Feeling tired all the time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Colon cancer has far-reaching adverse effects on your body. If you constantly bleed, losing red blood cells, you become anemic. You lack energy and feel fatigued all the time. If this state persists for several weeks, visit your doctor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Iron deficiency<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Anemia is a condition affecting billions worldwide. It is common among children and menstruating or pregnant women. In healthy people, it could be a sign of trouble, so it warrants further medical investigation. With colon cancer, iron deficiency can arise from bleeding.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Jaundice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes occurs when there is a problem with the liver. Colon cancer can spread to the liver, so jaundice can be a sign of late-stage colon cancer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pelvic pain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Pelvic pain can be a sign of many conditions, including colon cancer. If you have persistent pelvic pain, see your doctor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rectal cramps. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abnormal bowel movements may cause rectal cramping, also known as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/digestive-disorders\/what-is-proctalgia-fugax\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">proctalgia fugax<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32327\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32327\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/AdobeStock_94976130_11zon-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32327\" title=\"Doctor talking to his patient\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/AdobeStock_94976130_11zon-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Doctor talking to his patient\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/AdobeStock_94976130_11zon-1.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/AdobeStock_94976130_11zon-1-300x150.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32327\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Talk to your doctor if any of these symptoms persist<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colon cancer symptoms in males are the same as in females, but men are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fonc.2020.607909\/full\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more likely<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to develop colon cancer than women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Interpreting Colon Cancer Symptoms<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colon cancer occurs more frequently in men over 50 but can occur at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0091743517303572?via%3Dihub\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">any age<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Thus, if you experience any of its symptoms, you should see a doctor and test for colorectal cancer, regardless of your age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell your doctor everything you can about your symptoms, including how long you\u2019ve been experiencing them.

They are also more intrusive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before undergoing a colonoscopy, you have to prepare your bowels for a few days. The doctor then inserts a flexible tube through your anus and uses a camera to look at the inner lining of your colon. Through the same tube, your doctor can take biopsies and remove polyps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A FIT test only requires a stool sample. At-home FIT tests allow you to take a specimen in the privacy of your home and mail it in for analysis. If your result is positive, your doctor can recommend a colonoscopy. If your test results are negative, the recommendation is to repeat the test once a year. Frequent testing ensures the efficiency of your screening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At-home FIT testing can help you catch colorectal cancer early, but it does not exclude or replace colonoscopy. Think of it as the first line of colon cancer screening. Follow the instructions in your test kit closely to avoid skewing your results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>eDrugstore Helps You Screen for Colon Cancer<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We carry <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edrugstore.com\/colorectal-cancer-screening\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at-home FIT testing kits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you can order and have delivered quickly and discreetly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We follow up positive results with free doctor consultation.
