Colorectal cancer refers to cancer of the colon or re**um, and it is more common in men than in women. According to a study published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology in 2015, women have a higher risk of acquiring right-sided colon cancer (the more aggressive variety) than men. Another problem with diagnosing colorectal cancer in women, or more precisely colon cancer, is that the symptoms are identical to menstrual symptoms. Some of the signs of colon cancer can be mistaken for menstrual symptoms.

The following are the three main symptoms of bowel cancer:

⚠️ blood in your p**p - this might happen for no apparent reason or be linked to a change in bowel habits.

⚠️ a long-term change in your bowel habits, such as having to p**p more frequently and your p**p becoming runnier.

⚠️ chronic lower abdomen (tummy) pain, bloating, or discomfort – which is always brought on by eating and can be linked to a loss of appetite or considerable unintended weight loss.

Research shows that people who exercise regularly appear to have a lower cancer risk. Published in British Journal of Sports Medicine in 2016, a meta-analysis of 126 studies, individuals who engaged in the highest level of physical activity had a 19% lower risk of colon cancer than those who were the least physically active.

Our colon is home to countless microbes called microbes or gut flora. Most of these microorganisms are bacteria. The identification of the role of microorganisms has led to the popularization of the use of probiotics as supplements and food additives to improve the health of the digestive system and immune function.

YES! Polyp-related colorectal cancer can be prevented. The disease develops from benign polyps (mushroom-like growths on the lining of the colon and re**um). Removing these polyps before they become cancerous may prevent cancer from developing.

Regular physical activity is proven to help prevent & manage noncommunicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and several cancers. It also helps prevent hypertension, maintain healthy body weight and can improve mental health, quality of life and well-being. (WHO)
