Bowel cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is cancer that starts in the large bowel. Most bowel cancers develop from polyps. Polyps are non-cancerous growths that can develop into cancer, though not all do. The earlier bowel cancer is spotted the more treatable it’s likely to be.

Symptoms of bowel cancer include:
- bleeding from your bottom
- blood in your poo
- a change in your pooing habits. You might be going more or less often, or have diarrhoea or constipation that might come and go
- losing weight but you’re not sure why
- feeling very tired all the time but you’re not sure why
- a pain or lump in your tummy

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, ask your GP about an at-home-test. Having these symptoms doesn’t always mean you have bowel cancer. but it’s important to find out what’s causing them.
