There is a chance of a positive outcome if the problem is identified at an early stage.

For this, it is important to undergo periodic medical examinations. However, few people agree to such procedures. In addition, people under 50 rarely think about the fact that they may have alarming symptoms. This is a big mistake.

It is important to consider that bowel cancer can begin with the appearance of polyps that form in the colon and rectum. Less often, the problem is associated with the small intestine.

This problem is provoked by improper nutrition. For example, if there are too many spicy, fatty or fried foods in the diet.

A colonoscopy can help identify the problem, and it can be a life-saving procedure.

This was stated by surgeon Jeffrey Nelson during a conversation with representatives of the portal Eat This, Not That!.

The doctor also noted that symptoms such as abdominal pain, loss of appetite or weight loss should not be ignored. Changes in bowel function are also possible. Diarrhea, nausea, constipation and heaviness may occur.

Because of such gradual changes, a person may not even realize that he is in danger. At this time, metastases may appear in the body.

Don't blame everything on dietary issues or stress. It's a good idea to get examined and tested.
