Warning Signs Of Peritoneal Cancer

Diarrhea Or Constipation

Diarrhea or constipation is a common warning sign associated with peritoneal and other cancers. Diarrhea and constipation may also be accompanied by the inability to control the bowels. Constipation can be caused by the lack of adequate nutrition, such as water and fiber, due to a decreased desire to eat. Diarrhea may be a direct result of the peritoneal cancer itself and its attack on the body and metabolism. Most individuals experience infrequent and short term bouts of diarrhea or constipation that can be resolved with a change in diet or fluid intake. Individuals who experience a change in bowels that last for longer than two days accompanied by abdominal pain and other digestive issues should speak to a doctor.
