Mild cases only show a small amount of bleeding occasionally, and severe cases can show mucus bloody stool, mucus purulent bloody stool or bloody stool, which are often misdiagnosed as dysentery or hemorrhoids bleeding, thus delaying the diagnosis.

2. Abdominal pain: the first or prominent symptom of some patients is persistent dull pain with inaccurate location, and some patients only have abdominal discomfort or abdominal distension. When colorectal cancer with erosion, obstruction or secondary infection, due to the corresponding intestinal peristalsis increase and spasm, can appear obvious abdominal colic. Some patients show typical incomplete intestinal obstruction abdominal pain, that is, the pain is paroxysmal colic, lasting for several minutes, conscious of gas channeling through the pain, followed by exhaust, and then the pain suddenly disappeared. When this symptom appears in the elderly, colorectal cancer should be considered first.

For example, the original defecation is once a day, but I don't know what the reason is recently, the defecation is 3-4 times a day, or diarrhea and constipation appear alternately, and the shape of the stool changes.
