Serious Warning Signs Of Bowel Cancer

Bloating

Bloating caused by bowel cancer can be associated with excessive gas. A healthy person may pass gas up twenty-three times in a single day. Cancer cells in the bowel can produce substances that cause an excessive amount of gas when food is digested. In addition, bowel cancer can spread to nearby lymph nodes and cause them to malfunction. The lymph vessels and lymph nodes are responsible for absorbing and placing fluid back into circulation when it builds up in the tissues. Cancer cells can migrate and invade into the nearby nodes and lymph vessels, causing them to become clogged. With obstructions in the lymph system, the extra fluid cannot be absorbed and put back into circulation properly. This mechanism causes fluid to build up in the tissues of the affected area. When this occurs in an individual's abdomen, it is referred to as ascites, which can make an individual with bowel cancer feel full easily and bloated.
