Question
Maybe I will break that question down a little. Now, cancer is actually termed as a group of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably; so, it will form uncontrollable growth.
The cells have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissues, so that is the hallmark of cancer. So, colorectal cancer, therefore, refers to cancer that evolves from the colon or the rectum.
Hi, The description of your symptoms appear to be proctalgia ani. While it literally translate to "pain in your anus", the persistence of your symptoms warrants a physical examination by a doctor. The causes can range anywhere from an anal fissure (tear in your anus), to deep anal infections, to referred pain from somewhere else e. g. coccydynia / pelvic floor strain (from your weight lifting), and stress.
Constipation does not increase the risk of colorectal cancer. It is a common myth that constipation will increase the exposure of "toxic" contents in stools to the colonic cells, thereby increasing the risk of colorectal cancer. However, patients who suffer from constipation are not at higher risk of colorectal cancer. Constipation is also not a symptom associated with colorectal cancer. The most common symptoms of colorectal cancer are: a persistent change of bowel habit for about 1 month blood in your stools mucus in your stools a persistent sensation of incomplete passage of stools.
