Gynecologists should be vigilant for symptoms that might indicate colorectal cancer, especially in patients who are at high risk or have a family history of the disease. Symptoms may include:
Changes in bowel habits Rectal bleeding or blood in the stool Unexplained weight loss Fatigue Abdominal pain or discomfort
Due to overlapping symptoms, these signs can sometimes be mistaken for gynecological conditions, necessitating thorough evaluation.
