Symptom #9: Rectal Bleeding
Just like cervical cancer and experiencing vaginal bleeding or discharge, rectal bleeding is a sign of rectal cancer. Rectal bleeding can be seen as a discoloration in the stool or bloody discharge when passing motion. The surrounding area can also feel itchy or feel pressured. These feelings are often exacerbated when passing motion or during intercourse.
Other symptoms of anal cancer include other discharge such as pus or mucus, change in bowel habits, having a lump near the anus, or swollen lymph nodes in the anal, groin, or pelvic area. If you have the risk factors for anal cancer, talk to your doctor about getting a yearly examination for screening.
