The interactive model by Bowel Cancer UK demonstrates the various stages of the condition.
A giant inflatable model of bowels will be displayed in Luton to raise awareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer. Bowel Cancer UK said the 19ft by 7ft model was designed so people could walk inside the inflatable and find out about symptoms.
Helen Whiteley, from Bowel Cancer UK, said the inflatable model was "a fabulous visual aid to explain to people what happens inside the bowel, how changes can happen". "And why sometimes those changes can cause the symptoms of bowel cancer and at what point people should be getting checked out," she explained. "It breaks down the barriers. If we can get people giggling about something, it gets people talking about it."Bowel Cancer UK says the inflatable model aims to break down barriers and get people talking about bowel cancer symptomsThe charity added that 54% of cases of bowel cancer in the UK were preventable.According to Bowel Cancer UK the key symptoms of the condition include:A change in your pooing habits. You might be going more or less often, or have diarrhoea or constipation that might come and goA pain or lump in your tummyMore than nine in 10 people survive bowel cancer when diagnosed at the earliest stage. "We need to get people to talk more about the embarrassing stuff, people don't like to talk about bowels, we don't like to talk about poo, but that's exactly what we need people to start doing, to get the confidence to go and see their doctor," Whiteley added.
