What are the early symptoms of rectal cancer

First, the main symptoms of rectal cancer are bloody stool, abdominal pain, abnormal defecation, emaciation and so on. The color of hematochezia is bright red or dark red. Most of the blood is attached to the surface of feces. Sometimes the blood in the stool can't be detected by naked eye, and it can only be detected by stool occult blood test. Abdominal pain is usually dull or distending pain, which may not be obvious in the early stage, but may be aggravated in the later stage. Abnormal defecation is mainly manifested as anal distension and incomplete defecation.

Second: about 50% of rectal cancer patients have hematochezia in the early stage of the disease. At first, the amount of bleeding is less, mostly on the surface of feces. After infection, hematochezia is more common. Hematochezia is also the most easily overlooked early symptom of rectal cancer, because other gastrointestinal diseases also have hematochezia. In addition, anorexia, emaciation, fatigue, anemia and other symptoms are also common symptoms of rectal cancer.

Stricture symptoms: when the cancer invades the intestinal stricture, the stool will deform and become thin in the early stage, and intestinal obstruction will appear in severe cases; cancer ulceration and infection symptoms: blood and mucus on the surface of the stool, and even purulent stool. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination.
