hello!

In this post i will show you 5 #warning #signs of #bowel #cancer that you should look out for.

Bowel cancer, also known as colon cancer or colorectal cancer, is the fourth most common form of the disease, after breast, prostate and lung cancers.

What are the red-flag signs of bowel cancer?

The five red-flag symptoms of bowel cancer include:

* bleeding from the back passage, or blood in your poo

* a change in your normal toilet habits - going more frequently for example

* pain or a lump in your tummy

* extreme tiredness

* losing weight

Bowel cancer symptoms can be subtle, but also reasonably common. Most people with them do not have the condition.

You’re more at risk of developing the condition if you drink a lot of alcohol regularly, are obese, or older than 60.

If you suspect that something is up, make sure to talk to a medical professional about it.
