Is A Small Amount Of Bowel Movement Once In A Day A Symptom Of Anal Cancer?

HI I am 37 years I was worried ecase I had anal cancer, but I only have one or 2 symptoms or one, I don`t seem to be constipated but I just don`t seem to be pooing as much or small amounts, is that normal, I checked up the symptoms and it only stayed 1 but I was still worried about it, would you need all the symptoms to actually have it? not that I would want it just wondering. Is pooing once a day or in small amounts normal?

Hello,

Constipation is defined as having less than three bowel movements in a week, and it is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints. Having constipation, however, does not mean you have colon cancer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
