Symptoms of Bowel Cancer:
Cancer Colon or bowel cancer is a condition which usually shows
no specific alarming symptoms in the beginning. However, certain symptoms of
bowel cancer that show up early can act as warning signs. If one is aware of
these symptoms of bowel cancer, one can be alert and keep a
watch. As with most diseases, the earlier a cancer is caught, better are the
chances of fighting against it.

Homeopathy for bowel cancer is a good option in treatment. Homoeopathy helps
bring about control in the symptoms. It helps to reduce the disease. Symptoms like
pain and bleeding can be reduced. It also helps reduce
the speed of progress of the disease.
Homeopathy can be used in later stages of cancer also. After
chemo and radiation, the side effects of the therapies can be reduced.
Pain Management in Cancer By Homoeopathy
One of the most common difficulties in treating cancer is
pain. Pain can be associated with both localized tumors and metastatic cancer.
Although only 15% of patients with nonmetastatic disease had pain associated
with their tumor at the time of diagnosis, pain becomes more pervasive as
disease progresses. With the diagnosis of metastatic disease the percentage of patients having pain
increased to 74%. Direct tumor involvement is the most common cause of pain,
present in approximately two thirds of patients with pain from metastatic
cancer. Tumor invasion of bone, common in breast and prostate cancer and with
multiple myeloma, accounts for pain in approximately 50% of these patients. The
remaining 50% experience tumor-related pain that is due to nerve compression or
infiltration, or tumor involvement of the gastrointestinal tract or soft
tissue.
