Red Flag #5: Changes in Bowel or Bladder Habits
Persistent constipation, diarrhea, or urinary symptoms may signal a larger issue. Colorectal, bladder, or prostate cancers often start subtly—with stool shape changes, blood in urine, or increased urgency. In 2023, colorectal cancer was the third most diagnosed cancer in North America, with cases often discovered only after months of overlooked bowel changes.
Annual colonoscopies and urology visits are now covered by most cancer insurance plans and many no-exam life insurance policies also allow cancer screenings with lab reimbursement. If you’re noticing digestive or urinary changes lasting more than three weeks, consult a specialist—early action is critical.
