How To Diagnose Colorectal Cancer While Suffering From Kidney Infection?

I have been treated for a kidney infection twice now and my symptoms have not gone away and I seem to fall under the signs of colorectal cancer? I have lost 8 pounds in two months (not my usual this time of year), I have problems with my bowels now for a year or so (dark in color and emptying less and less). I was just curious as to the symptoms of colorectal cancer?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Colorectal cancer would not be associated with urinary symptoms that would normally be seen with a kidney infection.

There may be symptoms such as loss of appetite, constipation, weight loss, blood in the stool, fatigue, abdominal pain, mass felt in the abdomen. Some persons may not have many or any symptoms, it depends on where the cancer is located.

A colonscopy is needed if you suspect colorectal cancer.

This would also a doctor to take a look inside the colon and biopsy of any suspicious areas can be done.

I hope this helps
