1. Unexplained Weight Loss
Most of us rejoice when we shed a few pounds, but the sudden, unexplained weight loss that often accompanies colon cancer is something that should cause alarm, especially if you haven’t changed anything in your diet or your daily activities. Make sure to give your doctor a visit to find out what’s causing you to lose weight without any conscious effort. While there can be other reasons for weight loss such as stress and fatigue, knowing what exactly is causing it can give you peace of mind. A 10-pound loss in weight in a short period of time without deliberate actions should be reason enough to get tested for colorectal cancer or other possible causes.
