What Are The Symptoms Of Bowel Cancer?

Hi i am 33 years old , had my second delivery by c section two weeks ago. I am now experiencing black stools and when I wipe it's bright red blood. I am taking vitamins, including iron, and my family has a history of bowel cancer-my dad. Should i be worried. Thanks in advance.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Symptoms of bowel cancer are blood in stool, weight loss, abdominal pain. Symptoms of obstruction may be there.

You have family history of colon cancer. So you should go for colonoscopy and if needed go for colonic biopsy. Early diagnosis is very important.

Consult your doctor and go for colonoscopy.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.

Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
