Main Symptoms of Cecal Cancer

Cecal cancer grows where the small intestine meets the colon, on the right side of the belly. Because stool is still liquid there, early signs are easy to miss. Dull right-side pain is the first clue. It feels like a persistent ache or cramp low in the belly and doesn’t go away with gas or stool. Hidden bleeding is common. Stool looks normal, but blood tests show anemia, or the stool turns dark and tarry. Low-grade fever or night sweats can appear as the tumor irritates the body. Weight loss is sneaky. Clothes feel looser even though appetite stays the... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Mixed Hemorrhoids

Mixed hemorrhoids combine internal and external types, so you get the best (or worst) of both worlds: painless bleeding plus painful lumps. Bleeding is the first clue. Bright-red blood drips into the bowl or shows on paper, usually without pain. Protrusion follows. A soft lump slides out with bowel movement and may stay outside or need to be pushed back. Pain kicks in later. When the internal part swells, it pulls the external skin with it, causing a deep, throbbing ache. Swelling and itching surround the anus. The area feels puffy, hot, and makes you want to scratch. Mucus and... Learn more

Main Symptoms of External Hemorrhoids

External hemorrhoids are swollen veins under the skin around the anus. Because they sit where nerves are plentiful, they announce themselves with pain and a lump you can feel. Pain is the headline. It feels like a deep, steady throb that spikes during bowel movements and can linger for hours. Lump shows up fast. A firm, bluish or skin-colored bump appears near the opening and is tender to touch. Swelling and redness follow. The skin around the anus looks puffy and feels hot. Itching and wetness occur when the area leaks fluid or mucus, making you want to scratch. Bleeding... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Internal Hemorrhoids

Internal hemorrhoids are swollen veins inside the rectum. Because they sit above the pain line, they usually bleed and bulge without hurting. Painless bleeding is the hallmark. Bright-red blood drips into the bowl or shows on the toilet paper after you wipe. Protrusion follows. A soft, pink lump may slide out during bowel movement and either pop back in on its own or need a gentle push. Itching and wetness occur when the hemorrhoid leaks mucus, irritating the skin around the anus. Feeling of fullness is common. You sense something is still there even after you finish stooling. Pain is... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Congenital Intestinal Disorders

Congenital intestinal disorders cover a range of birth defects—missing sections, wrong twists, or blocked tubes—that keep the gut from working on day one. Most announce themselves within hours of the first feeding. Bilious vomiting is the red flag. Green-stained vomit appears after the first feed and keeps coming back. No gas or stool is passed. The baby doesn’t have a normal first bowel movement, or stools stop completely. Swollen belly shows up fast. The abdomen puffs and feels tight, sometimes with visible loops of intestine. Pain comes in waves. The infant pulls up legs and cries hard every few minutes... Learn more
