What harm does colon cancer do to the body

Many people think that colon cancer is far away from them, and that it is a disease that only middle-aged and elderly people get. However, according to a survey conducted by an authoritative organization, colon cancer is now also occurring in many young people. Many young people are not aware of the harm of colon cancer, which leads to the delay of the disease. So what are the harms of colon cancer to the body?

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.

The editor would like to remind everyone that colon cancer is prone to metastasis and has many complications, which can cause many potential harms to the body. Friends must pay enough attention to colon cancer, pay attention to their daily habits, do not smoke or drink, and go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time if there are signs of illness, so as to stay away from diseases and enjoy a healthy life!
