Colon cancer usually does not cause complaints. One of the symptoms is the blood in the abdomen. When you find your blood in the stomach outlet, even in small quantities, go straight to your family doctor or specialist to our clinic. In these cases, a colonoscopy is imperative. Our clinic specialists recommend that all residents of Latvia use the opportunity to make state-funded colon cancer screening. The general practitioner should ask for a set of tests and then put a test strip on the test strip with a stick after the stomach outlet. It's very simple and can save your life. The test has to be done both for men and women over the age of 50 years.
In the case of colorectal cancer, the following symptoms are typical:
- changes in stomach outlet
- diarrhea or constipation, changes in stomach uptake that lasts for at least 4 weeks
- bleeding from the rectum or blood to the abdomen
- pain or discomfort in the abdomen (pulse pain, bloating)
- feeling that the intestines do not completely empty
- weakness
- obscure weight loss
For questions about colon cancer, please make an appointment to see Dr.Roberts Škapars.
