It can be quite difficult to detect the disease at an early stage.

The manifestations of this type of oncology depend on the stage of the disease, the nature of the tumor, and the level of its location.

Therefore, you should pay close attention to your health, do not postpone visits to the clinic and undergo examinations periodically. The earlier the problem is detected, the greater the chances of a positive outcome.

But what symptoms exactly should you pay attention to?

The most common signs of cancer include blood in the stool, constipation, pain in the rectum, anemia, and a feeling of "foreign body." In addition, a person may begin to lose weight.

Doctors reported this on the Telegram channel “State Budgetary Healthcare Institution Center for Public Health and Medical Prevention of the Kaliningrad Region”.

Doctors also noted that much depends on a person's diet. If he eats a lot of fatty and smoked food, and there is a lot of salt in his diet, then the risk of developing a malignant tumor increases.

If you do not fight rectal polyps, anal fissures and other ailments, you will eventually have to deal with oncology.

Doctors added in their publication that most often this type of cancer is encountered by representatives of the stronger sex between the ages of 40 and 60. But in some cases, the problem appears earlier.
