Q Y

Cancer of the colon and rectum may present in many ways. When one experience any of the below symptoms, the person should seek care on time.
1. Bleeding from the rectum or blood mixed with stool and may be associated with fatigue and pale skin.
2. If the tumor (abnormal swelling) gets large enough, it may completely or partially block the  colon.
One may notice the following symptoms of bowel obstruction:
1. Abdominal distension: belly sticks out more than it did before without weight gain.
2. Abdominal pain: This is rare in colon cancer. One cause is tearing (perforation) of the bowel. Leaking of bowel contents into the pelvis can cause inflammation (peritonitis) and infection.
3. Unexplained, persistent  nausea or vomiting
4. Unexplained  weight loss
5. Change in frequency or character of stool (bowel movements)
6. Sensation of incomplete evacuation after a bowel movement
7. Rectal pain: Pain rarely occurs with colon cancer and usually indicates a bulky tumor in the rectum that may invade surrounding tissue.
Any of the following symptoms warrants a visit to the nearest hospital emergency department:
Copious bleeding from  the  rectum
Unexplained severe pain in  the belly or pelvis (groin area)
    Vomiting and inability to keep fluids down
Colon cancer treatment
The primary treatment of colon cancer is to surgically remove part or the entire colon. Radiation before surgery, may reduce tumor size.  
The best prevention is to detect colon cancer and treat it early.
