10 Rectal Cancer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #3: Constipation
While our food can pass through the digestive system too quickly, it can also pass through too slowly. While that does help ensure that sufficient water and nutrients are absorbed, the condition creates problems of its own. It is also a problem that patients with rectal cancer can develop.
Because the stools have been in the system for longer than usual, then more water has been absorbed from them. This makes the stools harder and dryer, and this makes them harder to pass. Not only can constipation be painful, but it can also cause the system to become blocked and this can result in other problems.
