10 Rectal Cancer Symptoms
Symptom #2: Diarrhea
We get all the liquids that we need from the food that we eat and the drinks that we consume. Once in our digestive system, we will begin to absorb the water and everything else we need from our food into our blood. This takes some time, though, so our food will pass through the system slowly to give the digestive system time to do its work.
Rectal cancer, however, can cause our food to pass through faster than usual. When this happens, the body has not had sufficient time to absorb enough water. This can lead to dehydration, and it also leads to the loose, watery stools for which the condition is so well known.
