6. Narrow or Ribbon-Like Stools
A noticeable change in the shape of your stool may indicate a partial obstruction in the colon caused by a tumor.
Watch for:
- Stools that become consistently thinner than usual.
- Discomfort or the sensation of blockage during bowel movements.
- Unusual stool shape lasting longer than two weeks.
Why it’s important:
Consistently narrow stools may be a sign of colorectal can:cer.
7. Extreme Fatigue
Feeling unusually tired all the time, even with adequate rest, could be a red flag.
Watch for:
- Constant exhaustion without exertion.
- Weakness, dizziness, or breathlessness.
- An ongoing need to nap or rest throughout the day.
Why it’s important:
Can:cer can sap your energy and interfere with red blood cell production, leading to fatigue.
8. Lasting Stomach or Lower Back Pain
Ongoing pain in the abdominal or lower back area that doesn’t improve with rest may be linked to kidney, ovarian, or pancreatic can:cers.
Watch for:
- Dull or sharp pain that spreads from the stomach to the back.
- Pain that intensifies over time.
- No identifiable cause for the discomfort.
Why it’s important:
Pain that sticks around could be your body signaling something more serious.
When Should You See a Doctor?
If any of these symptoms last longer than two weeks, it’s time to consult a healthcare professional. Early detection of can:cer significantly improves treatment outcomes.
