Bowel or Bladder Changes
If you have noticed a change in your bladder habits, such as having to urinate more often or feeling the strong urge to urinate without producing much urine, having troubles urinating, or having a weak urine stream it’s worth getting checked out. Changes in urination is an early warning sign of bladder cancer and prostate cancer.
If you have noticed a change in your bowel habits, it’s also worth getting checked out. While a bout of constipation is usually nothing to worry about, severe and persistent constipation could be due to an obstruction, and is a sign of colon cancer. In addition, if your stool takes on a very narrow or skinny shape, you should also be concerned, as there is a chance that something is restricting the colon, possibly due to polyps. Persistent diarrhea can also signal a problem.
