Bowel cancer affects nearly 44,000 people in the UK every year.
While more than 90% of new cases are diagnosed in individuals over 50, bowel cancer can impact people of all ages, which is why it’s essential to be proactive when it comes to your health.
The symptoms to watch for include:
- Bleeding from the bottom
- Blood in your stools
- Changes in toilet habits, such as going more or less frequently, or experiencing diarrhoea or constipation that comes and goes
- Unexplained weight loss and tiredness
- Pain or lump in your abdomen
Currently, the NHS bowel cancer ‘FIT’ test is only offered to people aged 54 and older, yet over 2,600 cases are diagnosed annually in individuals under 50.
