What Is Anal Cancer?
5. How Does Anal Cancer Affect Stools?
One indicator that an individual has anal cancer is abnormal stools. Many people may get bouts of either constipation or diarrhea, and the size and frequency of bowel movements may change as well.
Additionally, it may feel as if the bowel never fully empties itself even after going to the bathroom. The stool may contain traces of blood. The shape of the stools may be different as well, with a narrow, pencil-like appearance.
