Early Symptoms Of Colon Cancer

Blood In Poop

Colon cancer causes tumors to grow. This makes the colon so, so irritated. So what happens when the colon lining is irritated? It'll start to bleed! So, men, you'll likely see blood in your poop. But hold your horses, because this can appear in a couple ways.

Many, many men will find their poop looks very dark, even black! This means the blood has had time to clot. It also says that the tumor is earlier in the colon! Bright red blood is far less common in colon cancer, but it is possible too. It means the tumor is later in the colon, because blood won't have had the time to clot.
