Will my shoulders hurt after bowel cancer surgery?

The incidence of colorectal cancer is getting higher and higher. Surgery is often used as a treatment method, but I heard that the recurrence rate after surgery is still quite high. So, will the shoulder hurt after colorectal cancer surgery? What are the sequelae after colorectal cancer surgery? Let's take a look at the experts' introduction.

Colorectal cancer refers to cancer between the dentate line and the junction of the rectum and sigmoid colon. It is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive tract. Rectal cancer is located low and can be easily diagnosed by rectal digital examination and sigmoidoscopy. However, due to its deep location in the pelvic cavity and complex anatomical relationships, it is not easy to perform a thorough surgery and the recurrence rate after surgery is high. Middle and lower rectal cancer is close to the anal sphincter, and it is difficult to preserve the anus and its function during surgery. This is a difficult problem in surgery and is also the disease with the most controversy in terms of surgical methods. The median age of onset of rectal cancer in my country is around 45 years old. The incidence rate among young people is on the rise.

Common sequelae after colorectal cancer surgery include the appearance of hard, nodular lumps under the perineum, which are painful when pressed by hand. The patient may also experience severe pain in the sacrum and lower limbs. After surgery, the urinary system will also be affected, affecting the health of the ureters and bladder. Abnormal bowel movements are also a postoperative feature. If rectal cancer recurs after surgery, patients may experience many adverse symptoms such as bleeding in the stool and changes in bowel habits.

The cost of colorectal cancer treatment is related to the choice of treatment method and drug dosage. The cost of rectal cancer treatment should be determined based on the specific drug, specific treatment method, whether to use auxiliary drugs and other related factors. Therefore, the specific cost of rectal cancer should be determined according to the specific situation of the patient.
