What are the symptoms of colorectal cancer?

But the American Cancer Society website has expert opinions on this cancer. According to him, colorectal cancer can cause stomach problems like diarrhea, constipation and loose stools for days.

Apart from this, light red bleeding from the anus, dark colored stools due to blood, abdominal pain, weakness and fatigue can also be seen. Besides, colon and rectal cancer patients lose weight without doing anything.
