Symptom #8: Constipation

Constipation is pretty much the opposite of diarrhea. While some patients with bowel cancer may suffer from loose and runny stools, others can experience constipation instead. This can result in dry, hard stools that can be difficult and even painful to pass. Thankfully, it is a symptom that will usually pass in a couple of days or so.

Constipation is not only uncomfortable but it can also be quite dangerous if the digestive system remains blocked. Remedies and medications are available that might at least help to relieve the symptoms. While constipation will usually pass harmlessly, you should speak with a doctor if the symptom persists.
