Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers for both men and women. It is very important to be aware of possible symptoms or signs that may be linked to bowel cancer such as:
• changes in your bowel habit from your usual routine;

• blood in your bowel motion/poo;

• pain or lump in the tummy/abdomen, or in some cases bloating;

• feeling more tired than usual;

• losing weight, or noticing your clothes getting looser, with no clear reason for this.

There can be many causes for these symptoms but if you experience any of these for three weeks or longer, it’s always best to get them checked out by your GP. And if eligible attend for screening.

💊 Pharmacy First – help from your local pharmacy

The NHS Pharmacy First service can help with conditions including sore throats, sinusitis, earache in children, infected insect bites, impetigo, shingles and some urinary tract infections.

Your pharmacist can advise you on the best treatment and, where appropriate, provide prescription-only medicines without you needing to see your GP first.

Choosing your local pharmacy for these conditions can help you get the right support quickly and free up GP appointments for those who need them most.
