Having a bowel movement after a meal is a sign of colon cancer? There are 4 kinds of abnormalities when going to the toilet, or the body pulls an alarm
"I want to have a bowel movement after eating. This is because there is tumor stimulation in the intestinal tract, which is the manifestation of intestinal cancer."
"It's not. I read online that many people defecate three or four times a day, and then go to the hospital to find out cancer."
"There is also a stool on the toilet, and I have to go to the hospital to see it."
"Why are you so scary, but unfortunately I'm constipated, do you know what to eat to defecate?"
This is Xiao Wang's "love each other family" family group, the uncle and the second uncle... Several people are discussing the issue of poop.
Xiao Wang actually has some troubles in this area recently. He sometimes has constipation and occasionally diarrhea, and he seems to have blood in his stool... Seeing the news in the family group, could this be the knock on the door of bowel cancer?
1. Want to go to a tuba after eating, is it a sign of bowel cancer?
In life, some friends may have such embarrassment: they have just finished eating, but they really want to poop. Could it be that the food that has just been eaten is pulled out so quickly?
In fact, the desire to poop after eating is inseparable from the personal gut.
After eating, the human body releases a hormone that causes a gastric and colonic reaction, which causes the colon to contract and promotes the peristalsis of food. If the gastrocolic reaction is large and the colon contracts too strongly, the receptors in the intestinal wall are stimulated and an "alarm" is issued .
In fact, this kind of reaction is a normal involuntary reaction after food enters the stomach. It is not controlled by people. Everyone will have this kind of reaction, but the intensity is different.
However, some diseases can also cause this reaction, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastritis, food allergies and intolerances, anxiety disorders, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), etc.
At the same time, if it is accompanied by the following conditions, you should be alert and seek medical attention as soon as possible:
• Intense and frequent nausea and vomiting;
• The urge to have a bowel movement after a meal for more than two days;
• Accompanied by other symptoms of upset stomach;
So, is having a bowel movement after every meal linked to bowel cancer?
In response to this problem, Professor Hu Qunfeng from the Tumor Hyperthermia Center of Guangzhou Harmony Hospital explained: bowel cancer after meals is generally not considered to be bowel cancer, mainly irritable bowel syndrome is more likely, but the professor reminded that bowel cancer will also Causing changes in stool, such as related symptoms, still need to be vigilant.
Second, these kinds of situations appear in the toilet, vigilance or bowel cancer
When you go to the toilet, do you leave without looking back? In fact, stool can often reflect the health of our gastrointestinal tract, especially the following four situations, especially if it is caused by colon cancer.
1. Blood in stool
As an early symptom of colorectal cancer, blood in the stool is easily mistaken for hemorrhoids. In fact, the blood in the stool caused by the two diseases is different.
The blood in the stool caused by colon cancer is dark red, accompanied by mucus or pus, mostly painless, mixed in the middle of the stool. The blood in the stool caused by hemorrhoids is mostly bright red, and it will drip or spray after defecation, and the blood mainly covers the surface of the stool.
2. Constipation and diarrhea alternate
If cancer develops near the anus , the intestines can become narrow, and the stools that are difficult to pass can become thin or cause constipation. At the same time, in order to be able to defecate normally, the intestines will be more "hard" peristalsis. Because the intestines are more active, diarrhea will also occur, so patients with colon cancer will have alternate symptoms of constipation and diarrhea.
3. Changes in stool characteristics
Due to polyps or tumors that narrow the intestines, the stools will become thinner or flatter, and even make it difficult to defecate, or the stools will be accompanied by mucus and blood.
4. Anal bulge
The typical manifestations of rectal cancer, but because the manifestations of bowel cancer and inflammatory bowel disease are similar, blood in the stool and increased frequency of bowel movements are also difficult to distinguish. Therefore, if it is accompanied by anal bulge and continues to increase, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
3. 4 poop problems, explained at one time
Some people can defecate regularly every day, some people only defecate once every few days, some people are troubled by constipation for a long time, and some people have sticky stools... About poop, you need to know these questions.
1. Do you defecate two or three times a day, is there any gastrointestinal problem?
In fact, after the food enters the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, it generally takes 24-48 hours to pass through the anus. It is normal to defecate 1-2 times a day.
However, there are also individual differences here. For example, some people have slow peristalsis in the digestive tract, so the interval between defecation will be longer. On the contrary, if the digestive ability is good, the interval between defecation will naturally become shorter.
Defecation will be affected by factors such as diet, physical fitness, and living habits. Generally, as long as there is no defecation difficulty, blood in the stool, obvious diarrhea, etc., it is normal to defecate three times in one day or once in three days.
2. Is sticking to the toilet a sign of bowel cancer?
Don't panic too much. The stool sticks to the toilet wall, indicating that the stool may contain more water and oil. Under normal circumstances, most of the water and oil in the stool will be absorbed by the intestinal mucosal epithelial cells in the intestinal tract, but if the water and oil cannot be completely absorbed, it is likely to cause the discharged stool to be deformed and loose, and then easily adhered to the stool. on the toilet wall.
If the stool is not formed in life, it will stick to the toilet wall, abdominal discomfort, etc., it is best to consult a gastroenterologist in time for symptomatic treatment.
3. The stool is black, what's the matter?
If the excretion of stool is black, you must first consider whether you have eaten dark green vegetables the day before, or whether you have eaten foods with high iron content, such as animal blood, animal liver, beef, etc., or whether you have eaten blood-enriching iron. agent. These iron-rich foods and medicines can form iron sulfide in the intestines, which in turn leads to dark stools.
If the above reasons are excluded, and the black stool is accompanied by dizziness, fatigue, paleness and other anemia symptoms, it should be suspected to be caused by upper gastrointestinal bleeding , and you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
4. The stool is not smooth, what food can defecate?
If we want to keep defecation smooth, then we need to meet the following two conditions: intake of sufficient dietary fiber (20-30g per day) and drink enough water (1700-2000ml per day).
Which foods have a laxative effect?
Dairy products such as yogurt : They contain probiotics that may be beneficial for improving gut health and softening stools.
Beans and soy products : Beans, including chickpeas, peas, and lentils, are high in dietary fiber, and fiber is a nutrient that promotes digestion and reduces constipation.
Prune: The fiber rich in prunes can speed up bowel movements, and the sorbitol and phenolic compounds it contains are beneficial to intestinal health.
Broccoli: The sulfonamides in broccoli can protect the gut and ease digestion.
Kiwi: Every 100g of kiwi contains about 2-3 grams of fiber, which can increase the volume of feces and speed up the peristalsis of the intestines. At the same time, the active amino acid in kiwi is also a substance that can promote the movement of the upper gastrointestinal tract. .
