IF YOU FIND THIS IN YOUR POO, IT COULD BE A SIGN OF THIS CANCER (READ BELOW).

Bowel cancer is the second most common cause of cancer
deaths in the UK.
Symptoms include unexplained weight loss, extreme
tiredness, a pain or lump in the tummy, and blood in your
poo.
But, about 16 million people in the UK would either ignore
blood left in the loo, write it off as something else, or just
assume it will get better, according to the research by Red
Trouser Day.
A third of 35 to 34 year olds ignore symptoms, the charity
said, while only 10 per cent of over-55s ignore them.
Similarly, a third of young people were too scared to check for
cancer symptoms, in case they find something. About 13 per
cent of over-55s were too scared to check for symptoms.Red Trouser Day founder Paul
Finch
said:
“Bowel
cancer is
the fourth most common cancer in the UK, and is the second
most common cause of cancer deaths in the UK.
“With early diagnosis, more than nine in 10 people will survive
bowel cancer for five years or more, compared to one in 10
diagnosed with late stage bowel cancer.
“Catching bowel cancer early is vital but we need to be more
aware of the symptoms.
“Be more open to discussing them with friends and family if
you have concerns.”

(You should see your GP if you find blood in your poo)


If you find blood in your poo, you should see your GP, Finch
said.
It may be caused by another health problem, as other bowel
cancer symptoms could be, but it’s still worth checking out,
he added.
It was vital the UK gets over the taboo of talking about
cancer, he said.
Earlier diagnoses of bowel cancer will improve treatments and
survive rates.
