What Are the Symptoms of Colon Polyps

Rectal Bleeding

Another common symptom of colon polyps is bleeding in the rectum. This problem is caused when the polyp grows in size and leads to a tear in the anus. It is often present as blood in the toilet bowl or on the toilet paper. Many people can feel frightened when they notice rectal bleeding. Since this is a medical emergency, it is important to visit a healthcare provider as soon as possible to get medical treatment. [2]
