3. Abdominal Discomfort: More Than Just a Passing Pain
Abdominal discomfort, be it in the form of cramps, gas, or pain, is something everyone experiences now and then. However, when these sensations intensify or linger without relief, they may be echoing a deeper concern.
Perhaps you’ve brushed off these feelings in the past, attributing them to a late-night meal or that extra helping of beans. But what if the discomfort isn’t tied to any particular food or event? What if it persists, making its presence known day after day?
This lingering discomfort can be an insidious sign of colorectal cancer. The tumor, as it grows, might cause obstructions or inflame the surrounding tissues, resulting in these pains. While the pain might start as a mild annoyance, it can gradually intensify, further hampering daily activities. (3)
