Bowel Cancer
If you’re between the ages of 60 and 74, you will automatically be sent a bowel screening kit every two years. It’s really important to make sure you do the tests, because these tests can help to discover issues early on, which may help to reduce fatalities.
There are many causes of bowel cancer; these include your age, family history, diet, smoking, drinking, and digestive disorders. Symptoms can include: a persistent change in bowel habits, abdominal pain, and blood in your poo. If you have any concerns, it’s important to get in touch with your GP as soon as possible.
