Health conditions can come up with the most unpleasant and embarrassing symptoms possible.
Despite people understanding that such warning signs shouldn’t be ignored, they often decide not to talk about it with anyone. This can lead to further complication and life-threatening situations.
Regardless of what symptoms you are experiencing, never be shy to speak up about them. This way, you will know what’s going on with you and how to deal with the underlying condition.
Anal cancer is one of such embarrassing conditions that no one likes to discuss. Despite the fact that this type of cancer is rare, it can happen to anyone, and its symptoms can easily be misunderstood. Anal cancer results from a genetic mutation that causes abnormal transformation of the healthy cells. As these cells grow, they create mass tumors that can be life-threatening if not discovered soon enough.

Below are six early warnings that may indicate anal cancer. While in most cases they aren’t serious, they shouldn’t be overlooked.
1. Anal Pain
Anal pain or tenderness often indicates hemorrhoids. It is estimated that around 75% of people have hemorrhoids at least at one point in their lives.
However, pain in the anus can also represent anal cancer. In that case, the pain will appear as mild but constant. If not treated, it will get worse and more painful. This means that the cancer is spreading.
2. Itchy Anus
If you’re feeling itchy down there, it might just be another standard itch that needs to be dealt with by scratching. Nevertheless, if you experience it commonly and along with other anal cancer signs, you should have your anus checked.
