Colorectal cancer symptoms in men include narrow or bandy stools, blood in stool, abdominal pain, distension, weight loss, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, bloating, and cramping. Seek medical attention if there is excessive bright red blood in the stool.
Symptoms of colorectal cancer in men include narrow or bandy stools, bright red or dark-colored blood in the stool, pain in the abdomen or groin, abdominal distension, and unusual weight loss. Other symptoms include constipation, diarrhea, persistent nausea, bloating and cramping. Colon tumors can cause heavy bleeding or grow large enough to create a blockage or obstruction in the large intestine. Other noncancerous conditions in the large intestine, such as spastic colon, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, diverticulosis and ulcerative colitis, could produce similar symptoms. Anyone who has concerns about colorectal cancer symptoms in men should consult a doctor or physician.
In some cases, cancerous growths in the colon might cause slow blood loss over time, which could lead to iron deficiency anemia. This anemia could cause weakness, fatigue, and even shortness of breath. Cancerous tumors in this part of the body can cause partial or complete intestinal blockages, resulting in symptoms such as loose stools, constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and cramping. The presence of bright red blood in the stool could be a sign of a tumor or growth near the last section of the colon or even the rectum.
Tumors in this area of the body can get quite large before causing any symptoms. Pain with colorectal cancer rarely occurs until the tumor is large enough. Large cancerous growths or tumors could tear the lining of the intestine and allow the contents of the intestine to seep into the surrounding tissue, causing inflammation or infection.
There are many non-specific symptoms of colorectal cancer in men. Colorectal cancer may be present in the body for several years before any symptoms appear. Sometimes a simple change in the frequency of your daily bowel movements, the composition of a bowel movement, or a feeling that your colon isn’t completely empty could indicate a more serious problem. Colorectal cancer symptoms in men will differ depending on where the tumor or tumors are located within the large intestine or rectum.
A person should seek immediate medical attention when an excessive amount of bright red blood appears in the stool, toilet bowl, or on toilet paper after a bowel movement. Although some people mistakenly attribute bright red blood to hemorrhoids, profuse bleeding from the rectum is one of the most obvious symptoms of colorectal cancer in men. You may be given a fecal occult blood test to tell you how much hidden or unseen blood is in your stool.
