Fatigue and weakness: Feeling tired and weak for no apparent reason can be attributed to many factors, including stress, lack of sleep, or other medical conditions. But in some cases, colon cancer may lead to these feelings due to the energy drain caused by the body’s fight against the disease.

Changes in bowel movements: While changes in bowel habits are a common symptom, pay attention to any unusual changes. This may include a feeling of incomplete evacuation after a bowel movement or persistent changes in stool consistency, such as thin, pencil-like stools. These changes could be an indication of a narrowing or blockage in the colon caused by a tumor.

It is important to stress that these signs can have different interpretations, and exposure does not automatically mean that you have colon cancer. However, it is always best to be proactive about your health. If you notice any persistent or unusual changes in your body, especially those that do not appear to have an obvious cause, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate testing. Early detection and intervention are key factors in the successful management and treatment of colon cancer.
