Early diagnosis and treatment of bowel cancer offers the best chance of a successful recovery. At the very least, the symptoms will be less severe and, therefore generally easier to treat.

It is common though for embarrassment to get in the way of seeking medical advice for bowel problems until the symptoms worsen. By this point, whatever is causing the problem can be more difficult to treat and, in the case of serious conditions the chances of recovering completely can be reduced.

While this discomfort is natural and understandable, it is reassuring to know that with the right support from specialist doctors, you can lessen or even alleviate your symptoms.
