The first six symptoms of bowel cancer have become known. The doctor of medical sciences, surgeon-oncologist, coloproctologist Arkady Bedzhanyan spoke about them, writes AiF.
According to him, abdominal pain, persistent nausea and loose stools, unreasonable weight loss, bloating and constant heartburn should alert. The doctor advised to immediately consult a doctor in the presence of the mentioned symptoms.
According to him, the hospital will prescribe a test for occult blood in the feces, which allows to detect the presence of an oncological process in the early stages. At the same time, the presence of occult blood does not indicate oncology, but is only a reason for further examination and determination of the cause. A positive result can be with a stomach ulcer, erosion of the esophagus, polyps or hemorrhoids.
Previously, gastroenterologists noted that yellowish facial skin and spider veins are signs of liver pathology, and a white coating on the tongue and bad breath indicate peptic ulcer and indigestion.
