Colorectal Cancer Risk Factors You Should Know

Colorectal risk factors could be your diet, lifestyle, or even heredity. People having lynch syndrome get an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Besides, people suffering from FAP (familial adenomatous polyposis) can develop colorectal cancer by the age of 40. On top of that, precancerous colorectal polyps, inflammatory bowel disease and age are contributing factors of colorectal cancer. Other issues could be physical inactivity, smoking and drinking. Symptoms of colorectal cancer include blood in the stool, anemia, bowel movement changes, rectal discomfort, and abdominal pain. Experiencing these means you should contact a colonoscopy specialist immediately.
