shows that colorectal cancer has become the second most prevalent cancer in my country.
Let’s look at another set of shocking numbers: in 2020, the number of new colorectal cancer cases in China was 560,000, and the number of deaths reached 290,000!
In fact, although intestinal cancer is terrible, if it can be detected and treated early, many tragedies can be avoided.
So, you might as well pay attention to some physical manifestations, especially when going to the toilet, which may be a signal of intestinal cancer -
When going to the toilet in the morning, all these 4 manifestations,
Beware that intestinal cancer is coming to knock on the door!
The first thing to do when you wake up in the morning is that many people go to the bathroom.
Indeed, going to the toilet after getting up in the morning can not only make you feel relieved and quickly, but also the best time to observe your bowel movements.
But if the following symptoms occur during bowel movements, beware of the symptoms of disease or even signs of intestinal cancer -
01 Changes in bowel habits
01 Changes in bowel habits are the most common symptoms of colorectal cancer.
For example, the bowel movements were very regular before, but for a long time recently, diarrhea or constipation was very frequent; or the bowel movements were only once a day, but now I have to go to the toilet three or five times a day.
02 There is bloody stool
Bloody stool is also a sign of disease. Many people often mistakenly think that the cause of bloody stool is hemorrhoids , and they don’t take it seriously.
However, sometimes these conditions contain signals of major diseases such as cancer. Because when feces pass through the intestine where there is already cancer, it will rub against the surface of the lesion, causing bloody stool. If bleeding persists, it can also lead to anemia.
03 Continuous diarrhea
If it is diarrhea caused by colorectal cancer, there is often blood mixed in watery feces, and there is still a feeling of residual feces after defecation. At the same time, diarrhea and constipation alternate and occur repeatedly.
diarrhea caused by acute gastroenteritis, food poisoning, etc. usually improves and recovers within a few days. However, if the condition that has not been cured for a long time, it can be irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, or colorectal cancer.
04 The feces are very fine
If the feces that are usually discharged are thicker and suddenly become feces as thin as pencils, this situation may be caused by colorectal cancer.
Because once the tumor becomes larger, it will affect the excretion of feces and make it thinner. It cannot be completely discharged at once. It always feels that it is not completely discharged.
In short, once the above symptoms occur, don’t think it is a trivial matter. It is best to go to the hospital for examination in time.
If you want to detect intestinal cancer as soon as possible, in addition to paying attention to the observation, the more reliable way is to do colonoscopy .
Colocytics :
The most direct means to detect early bowel cancer
Colocytics is the most direct and effective means to detect early bowel cancer.
Moreover, if the precancerous lesions of colorectal cancer are detected in the early stage (such as intestinal polyps ), it can also be directly removed under the colonoscopy, which has better treatment effect.
This is also another meaning of colonoscopy, which is to detect and endoscopically treat intestinal polyps, especially precancerous lesions such as adenomatous polyps.
So, who needs to have colonoscopy?
According to the "Guidelines for Screening and Endoscopic Diagnosis and Treatment of Early Colorectal Cancer" and the "Technical Plan for Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer" published by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, it can be divided into:
General population: It is recommended to start screening for colorectal cancer at the age of 50, and generally undergo examinations every 5 to 10 years. The examination methods mainly include stool cryptovascular and colonoscopy. High-risk groups: Begin to screening for colorectal cancer early at around 40 to 45 years old, and receive examinations every 3 to 5 years on average. Those who meet any one or more of the following are high-risk groups: ① First-degree relatives have a history of colorectal cancer; ② They have a history of cancer (any history of malignant tumor); ③ They have a history of intestinal polyps; ④ Those who have two or more items at the same time: chronic constipation , chronic diarrhea , mucus bloody stool, adverse life events, chronic appendicitis or appendectomy, a history of chronic biliary disease or a history of cholecystectomy. In addition to early detection of intestinal cancer, we must also pay attention to prevention. Intestinal cancer is a "rich disease". To prevent it from happening, the key is to keep your mouth under control.
5 "eat" the bad habit of intestinal cancer.
advises you not to touch any of them
01 Eating meat for a long time will increase the risk of intestinal cancer - excessive meat intake → protein , fat spoilage → production of harmful substances → intestinal mucosal cells are repeatedly infected with harmful substances → malignant changes occur. 02 Eating oil and eating greasy foods frequently will stimulate bile secretion, increase the concentration of bile acid in the large intestine, and increase the number of anaerobic bacteria in the intestine. Anaerobic bacteria contain an enzyme that can promote the activation of carcinogens, which can easily lead to cancer.
03 Eat too much semen "spice" refers to semen, rice, white flour. This type of food has high sugar content, which will affect blood sugar, , blood lipids, levels. If you only eat sperm rice and white flour for a long time, insulin and and other hormones will indirectly act on large intestinal epithelial cells and induce cancer. 04 If you drink too much alcohol for a long time, ethanol will denaturate protein on the surface of the digestive tract mucosa, thereby increasing the risk of gastrointestinal tumors.
05 Unhealthy cooking methods Some unhealthy cooking methods, such as frying, smoke, roasting, etc., have very high cooking temperatures. Although high temperatures give birth to a special flavor of food, they also produce a large number of teratogenic and mutagenic substances that are harmful to health. Occasionally exposed to these substances will not cause obvious harm; if this continues, the situation will be unpredictable.
