Bloating, change in bowel habit, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding or blood in stool

Symptoms of bowel cancer may include blood in your stools (bowel motion) or abdominal pain, the blood would usually be dark but can be bright red in colour. (Fresh, bright red blood is usually a sign of piles (haemorrhoids)). You may notice a change in your normal bowel pattern (such as diarrhoea or constipation) for no obvious reason and you might have a feeling of not having emptied your bowel properly after a bowel motion.

If you come across any of the above symptoms, please go and see your GP.
