Can rectum cancer have stomachache

summary

My mother is 69 years old. She was diagnosed with advanced rectal cancer and liver metastasis in June this year. Now she needs to defecate several times in the morning and feels uncomfortable. She always feels flatulence, abdominal pain sometimes, and waist bulge. After a period of treatment, it's much better now. I'd like to share with you whether rectal cancer will cause stomachache, hoping to help more people.

Can rectum cancer have stomachache

Symptom 1: change of defecation habits: due to the stimulation of cancer in the intestinal cavity, unexplained increase of stool frequency, constipation, or alternate symptoms of diarrhea and constipation will appear in the short term. If the condition of rectal cancer continues to develop, and the cancer increases, it will also form obstruction to the intestinal cavity, and then there will be constipation, stool shape change, abdominal distension and other symptoms.

Symptom 2: change of stool nature: the most common symptom is bloody stool, and about 90 patients with early rectal cancer had bloody stool. Rectal cancer hematochezia color is red or dark red, and also accompanied by mucus and pus.

Symptom 3: abdominal distension, abdominal pain, difficult defecation: these symptoms are caused by the continuous development of the tumor, the enlargement of the cancer, and the obstruction of the intestinal cavity.
