There is cancer in the body, the prophet of 'poo'! If these abnormalities appear in defecation, it indicates the advent of colon cancer!
Recently we have seen a patient, Master Wang, 48 years old this year, a taxi driver. According to Master Wang's description, in the past six months, his stool has become more and more abnormal. He has to run to the toilet several times a day, and sometimes he even has blood in the stool.
Because of his occupation, Master Wang thought it was a hemorrhoid attack and didn't care. The symptoms of diarrhea and blood in the stool lasted for two or three months. Not only did they not get better, but they continued to get worse, and I lost a lot of weight. Feeling really bad, I decided to come to the hospital for treatment. When I got to the hospital for a colonoscopy, I found out that the reason for the abnormal stool of Master Wang was actually caused by colorectal cancer.
Fortunately, due to the timely examination, the attending doctor said that Master Wang is in the early stage of colorectal cancer. If it is treated as soon as possible, the cure rate will be very high, and the natural life expectancy will not be affected. But unfortunately, more cancer patients in China are diagnosed at an advanced stage.
According to reports, the diagnosis rate of early cancer of digestive tract tumors in China is less than 30%, that is to say, 70% of people are already in the middle and late stages when they go for examination. This is because in our inherent cognition, only when the disease is obvious, that is, when symptoms appear, should we go to see a doctor. Usually, it is basically a perfunctory attitude such as "it's over with patience", "buy some medicine and take it yourself".
It will only be taken seriously when it is seriously unbearable. Regrettably, for cancer, there are generally no symptoms in the early stage, and symptoms usually appear in the middle and late stages. But the best time for treatment is in the early stage. If you miss it, no matter how much money you spend or how much tears you shed, it won't help.
In fact, whether it is cancer or any other disease, there will be some changes in the body, especially intestinal diseases, many of which can be found through changes in the shape, color, and frequency of feces, which are of great significance to the discovery of bowel cancer.
This is because compared with other tumors, colorectal cancer has a better prognosis and is a curable tumor with early detection. The 5-year survival rate after treatment is as high as 90%. Therefore, understanding the risk factors, vigilant symptoms and screening methods of colorectal cancer, early detection and early treatment play an important role in the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.
If there is such a stool, you should immediately have a colonoscopy!
Early-stage colorectal cancer rarely has obvious symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating, but it is easier to detect by observing the stool: when the lesion is limited to the mucosa, the patient may have no symptoms, or only have changes in bowel habits and properties;
When the tumor grows to a certain extent, it will stimulate the intestinal tract to increase the secretion of mucus, which can lead to symptoms such as increased stool frequency, thick stool, and difficult to wash away; when the tumor volume continues to increase, normal stool is difficult to pass, and constipation and defecation may occur. Induration, small amount, thinning, and may even bleed due to friction on the surface of the tumor, manifested as bright red or dark red mucus mixed in the stool.
Once the tumor ruptures, there will be bright red blood, or reddish-brown blood in the stool.
