What does colon cancer pain feel like

Colon cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when harmful cells in the colon (large intestine) or rectum (the part of the large intestine that connects to the anus) begin to grow uncontrollably.

The condition can cause painful symptoms such as changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, stomach pain, fatigue, and lack of appetite, among others.

In many cases, colon cancer does not cause symptoms until it grows and spreads.

Screening tests, such as a colonoscopy, can help detect colon cancer in its early stages when it is easier to treat. If you think you may have symptoms of colon cancer, it's a good idea to make an appointment with your healthcare provider to get tested.
