What are the symptoms of clorectal cancer
I am a 45 year old male, since few days I have noticed blood in my stools. I do not have any pain in my abdomen and my bowel habits are also not disturbed. I am worried because my father had colorectal cancer and so wanted to know it’s symptoms. Is it hereditary? Can I also have it?
