What Are the Early Signs of Colorectal Cancer, and Can Ayurveda Help in Prevention? - #14888

Recently, a close friend of mine was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. At first, it was a huge shock because he didn’t show any obvious signs, and he’s relatively young. His symptoms started with occasional stomach cramps, some changes in his bowel habits, and a feeling of fullness after eating even small amounts of food. He thought it was just indigestion or stress, but when the pain got worse, he went to the doctor, who suggested a colonoscopy. That’s when they found signs of colorectal cancer. Since then, I’ve been thinking a lot about my own digestive health. I’ve also had some minor digestive issues recently, like bloating, irregular stools, and lower abdominal discomfort, and I’m worried it could be a sign of something serious. I want to know—what are the early signs of colorectal cancer? Can I prevent this disease by taking action now, or is it mostly genetic? I’ve been reading about Ayurveda and its approach to cancer prevention. Can Ayurveda help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer through diet, herbs, or lifestyle changes? Are there specific foods or herbs that support colon health and digestion, helping to keep things regular? Has anyone here used Ayurveda for colon health or cancer prevention? What Ayurvedic practices or remedies have you found helpful? I’d love to learn how I can support my digestive system naturally and lower my risk of developing colorectal cancer.
