is it hemorrhoids or cancer
Can hemorrhoids cause colin cancer or is that a myth?

Hemorrhoids do not a cause colorectal cancer. A study done at the Hemorrhoid Care Medical Clinic in 1988, showed that approximately 90% of colon and rectal cancer patients initially thought that they had hemorrhoids, and presented with symptoms of rectal itching and rectal bleeding. So a belief that one has hemorrhoids, could be considered a colorectal cancer warning sign. Other warning signs of colon and rectal cancer are:

Excess Gas
Constipation
Blood in Stools
Change in Bowel Habits
Persistent Abdominal Discomfort
Change in Shape of Color of Stools
Sensation of Incomplete Evacuation
Feelings of Tiredness or Exhaustion
Cancer of the colon and rectum is the second most common cause of cancer death in the U.S.A. today. 1 out of every 17 Americans will get colorectal cancer at some point in their life. Early diagnosis is the key to achieving survival. With better diagnostic modalities and more aggressive approaches, we can improve the present rate of survival from 62% to 81%, which means an additional 56,000 patients will live each year.
