Early Symptoms Of Colon Cancer

Weight Loss

Men, your colon can grow polyps if you have colon cancer. Everyone knows this! These growths are why weight loss is an early sign of colon cancer. They make it much, much harder for digestion to happen. The intestines will get backed up, and digestion will slow down. The body won't absorb the nutrients from the food!

Men, your waste won't leave the body nearly as well. This attacks your appetite too, so you're going to eat less. All of this forces unexplained weight loss. Cancerous cells also take up so, so much more energy, causing more weight loss. Watch out for weight loss of more than just a pound here or there. It'll be more like 10 pounds in a short period.
