Early prevention methods for rectal cancer

The age of rectal cancer is mostly between 30 and 60 years old, and it is more common in men than in women. If it can be detected and treated in time, the prognosis is better. So how can we detect rectal cancer in life, detect rectal cancer early, treat it early, and improve the cure rate?

1. Be alert to early signs of colorectal cancer

(1) The frequency of bowel movements increases, but no stool is excreted.

(2) The stool becomes black or dark red, becomes thinner, and contains mucus.

(3) Changes in stool shape, such as from coarse to fine.

(4) Recurrent hemorrhoids that do not heal, unexplained anemia, and weight loss.

(5) Unexplained abdominal pain.

2. Eating less, eating more, or not eating to prevent colorectal cancer

(1) Eat less oil: In fact, oil itself is not carcinogenic, but it can promote bile secretion. Bile produces bile acid under the action of intestinal bacteria, which is a cancer-promoting factor. Therefore, it is recommended that the daily oil intake should be within 50 grams.

(2) Eat more vegetables: Eating vegetables rich in fiber can help stimulate gastrointestinal motility, increase bowel movements, and remove carcinogenic and toxic substances through feces. Vegetables rich in fiber include celery, leeks, cabbage, radish, etc.

(3) Do not eat pickled foods: Pickled foods contain food additives such as nitrite, which is a carcinogen. Long-term consumption will increase the incidence of gastrointestinal cancer (including colon cancer), so try not to eat this type of food.

Warm reminder: The above are some preventive measures for rectal cancer. Everyone should pay more attention to their health in life.
