British oncologists warn that pale skin may indicate bowel cancer. This was reported by the Express newspaper.

It is noted that the disease is easily treatable if it is detected at an early stage, so it is important to know its early signs.

An unhealthy complexion is most commonly seen with anemia. However, a symptom in combination with increased fatigue can also appear when an acute iron deficiency has arisen in the body due to cancer..

The main signs of bowel cancer are: blood in the stool, changes in bowel habits, constant pain in the lower abdomen. If at least one of these symptoms persists for more than three weeks, you should definitely see a doctor.

As pointed out by experts, risk factors for the development of intestinal oncology are:.

Age 50+ Family history of bowel cancer History of benign growths (polyps) in the intestine Long-term inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis).

Type 2 diabetes Unhealthy lifestyle.

Recall that in order to reduce the chances of illness, one should give up red and processed meat (beef, pork, sausage), alcohol and smoking.

To prevent colon cancer, it is important to consume enough whole grains, as well as vegetables and fruits, which are sources of fiber.
