4. Abdominal Pain

Although everyone experiences abdominal pain or discomfort from time to time, but if you suffer regular bouts of abdominal pain, especially when combined with any other symptom on this list, you could be developing colorectal cancer.

 

5. Nausea and/or Vomiting

If you begin to experience persistent vomiting and/or nausea, for no apparent reason, you might be developing bowel cancer. It is possible to experience this symptom without abdominal pain or any other symptoms. Most people think that it was simply something they ate that didn’t agree with them and are reluctant to see a doctor for this minor symptom, but if this continues for several weeks, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

 

6. Persistent Diarrhea

According to BMC Medicine, 1 in 5 people who are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, experience persistent, ongoing diarrhea that does not respond to typical medication.
