TikToker Radwah Oda shared her colon cancer diagnosis to raise awareness about warning signs people may ignore. Colon cancer can affect individuals of all ages, and early detection is crucial for survival.
- Changes in Stool Shape: Thin or pencil-like stools can indicate a blockage in the colon, which may require medical attention if persistent.
- Bathroom Routine Shifts: Unexplained changes in bathroom habits, such as frequent diarrhea or difficulty passing stool, can signal colon cancer.
- Persistent Bloating: Chronic bloating with discomfort, especially when paired with other symptoms, could indicate a blockage or digestive issues linked to colon cancer.
- Persistent Fatigue: Unexplained tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest can be a sign of colon cancer.
- Abdominal Pain: Persistent lower abdominal pain, particularly on the left side, can indicate a blockage caused by a tumor.
Early detection and awareness of symptoms are key to successful treatment.
