THE Department of Health and the Southern Philippines Medical Center collaborated to raise awareness about colorectal cancer causes and symptoms during the Kapihan sa Dabaw at SM Ecoland on Monday morning, March 25, 2024.Dr Robert B. Bandolin, the SPMC consultant and section head of colon and rectal surgery, said that tumors and cancers are common in the large intestine, or colon, with bleeding being a key indication.
Symptoms of colorectal cancer can also include changes in bowel movements, such as difficulty in defecating and a constant sensation of discharge.Regarding whether irregular defecation can cause colorectal problems, Bandolin clarified that while many hold misconceptions about this, irregular defecation is not the primary cause but can be a symptom.He also said that genetics, particularly family history, significantly influence the risk of colon cancer. However, most cases occur sporadically.
