What impact does colon cancer have on patients' lives

Many people think that colon cancer is far away from them and will not happen to them. Nowadays, with the incidence of colon cancer continuing to rise, it has ranked third among gastrointestinal tumors. The occurrence of the disease has brought great harm to the patient's health. Therefore, we must understand the dangers of colon cancer in order to effectively prevent the occurrence of colon cancer. Here we will introduce the harms of colon cancer to patients.

1. Due to the blood loss and toxin absorption caused by the ulceration of colon cancer tumors, colon cancer patients often experience anemia, low fever, fatigue, weight loss, edema and other symptoms. The harmful manifestations of colon cancer are particularly prominent in anemia and weight loss.
2. The occurrence of left-side colon cancer is also caused by the harm of colon cancer. The intestinal cavity of the left-side colon is relatively narrow, and the feces have become viscous and formed here. In addition, this part is mostly invasive cancer, and the intestinal cavity is often annular and narrow. Therefore, clinically, patients with colon cancer will have symptoms of intestinal obstruction earlier, and some patients with colon cancer may even have acute obstruction.
3. Another harmful manifestation of colon cancer is right-sided colon cancer. The right-sided colon cavity is wider, the stool is thinner, the colon is rich in blood and lymph, and has a strong absorption capacity. Cancers are mostly soft cancers, which are prone to ulceration, necrosis, bleeding and infection. Therefore, the clinical manifestations of colon cancer are mainly poisoning symptoms. However, when the condition of colon cancer worsens, intestinal obstruction may also occur.
4. Abdominal masses are also caused by the harm of colon cancer. They are hard masses that are infiltrated and adhered to the tumor or the omentum and surrounding tissues. Some patients with colon cancer may have a certain degree of mobility along the intestinal tract. In the late stage, the tumor infiltration of colon cancer is more serious and the mass may be fixed.
Warm reminder: After understanding the harm of colon cancer to the body, I hope everyone can take it seriously. In the late stage, it can also lead to the metastasis of colon cancer and cause many complications. Therefore, in life, everyone must pay more attention to colon cancer and do a good job in disease prevention to reduce the harm to the body.
