What Are the Signs and Symptoms?
With polyps, the answer is nothing. They occur painlessly and can only be detected by screening colonoscopy. With cancer, the following symptoms and signs may occur. Unfortunately, when they do, the tumor may be fairly large and advanced. See your physician immediately if you have any of the following:- rectal bleeding
- maroon, dark or even black bowel movements
- recurrent, frequent abdominal cramps or gas
- unexplained weight loss or fatigue
