7. Persistent Abdominal Pain Or Discomfort
Abdominal pain is probably one of the most common complaints encountered by physicians in their practice. While this is true, it should not be simply set aside since it could signify a more serious disease such as colon cancer. Most people often attribute their stomach discomfort to gas, indigestion or a case of stomach flu. Some even self-medicate to save a trip to the doctor. Any abdominal illness can cause abdominal pain, and when the discomfort becomes persistent with no relief from over the counter medication, the more you should make time to see your doctor. Colorectal tumors can obstruct the normal passage of stool and gas through our intestines, which then lead to cramping and bloating, which are symptoms of a change in bowel habits. The more severe and sudden the onset of your abdominal pain is, the more serious its underlying cause is, so make it a point to seek medical help immediately for a possible workup for cancer.
