Cancer Symptoms: Signs of Intestinal and Pancreatic Tumor in Your Poop or Stool

Cancer is a deadly disease caused by the uncontrollable growth and reproduction of cells in the body, according to the NHS. If left untreated, cancer cells can attack other healthy cells in the body, including vital organs. More than one in three people will develop cancer at some point in their lives, and there are over 200 different types of cancer. You can determine if you are at risk of developing cancer symptoms by regularly checking your poo. These are the warning signs of cancer to watch for.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the UK, and you could reveal your risk by checking your stool.

One of the main symptoms of bowel cancer is a persistent change in your bowel habits.

This could include using the toilet more often than normal or having more flexible bowel movements, the NHS said.

But, you could also be at risk of developing this disease if you constantly find blood in your poo, he added.

"Most people with these symptoms do not have cancer of the intestine," he said. "These symptoms need to be taken more seriously as you get older and persist, despite simple treatments.

"If you have one or more of the symptoms of bowel cancer and have persisted for more than four weeks, consult your doctor."

You could also be at risk for bowel cancer if you have persistent stomach pain or bloating, the release adds.

Meanwhile, your poop could also reveal your risk of pancreatic cancer, has it been revealed.

The symptoms of pancreatic cancer can be very vague and can come and go to start, said the Pancreatic Cancer UK charity.

But, you may also be at risk of contracting the disease if your poo is particularly odorous, he added.

"Pancreatic cancer often causes no signs or symptoms at an early stage," said the charity. "It can make early diagnosis difficult.

"As cancer develops, it can begin to cause symptoms. The symptoms and their severity may vary from person to person.

"Symptoms include changes in bowel habits, including steathorrhea [pale, smelly poo that may float], diarrhea [loose watery poo]or constipation [problems empty your bowel]. "

Steathorrhea is caused by the presence of fat in your poop. It is most likely to occur in patients with pancreatic cancer when the tumor has affected their digestion.

If the patient can not properly digest the fat contained in his diet, it can be emptied into the intestines with your stool.

Talk to a doctor if you are worried about the signs or symptoms of pancreatic cancer.
