Suffering from colorectal cancer onset period

The main risk factors of colorectal cancer are: First, eating habits. Eating too much high-protein, high-fat food is a very important factor. Second, environmental factors. Various pollutions are also major factors leading to malignant tumors. Third, personal bad habits, smoking, obesity, low-fiber diet. In addition, studies have shown that people who sit for a long time are more likely to get colorectal cancer. "We can avoid these factors, such as eating less fried food, eating more fiber-rich foods, exercising more, maintaining a standard weight, not smoking, and maintaining a good lifestyle are the first steps in preventing malignant tumors."

The second step to prevent malignant tumors is to actively conduct early screening to identify precancerous lesions. Professor Gu Jin pointed out that precancerous lesions may turn into cancer in the future, but if they are found and removed before they turn into cancer, they will not turn into cancer. Precancerous lesions of colorectal cancer include polyps, adenomas, and some chronic intestinal diseases.

Diagnosis of colorectal cancer precancerous lesions: early on, there are abdominal pain, occult blood in the stool, and later, there are masses and the patient loses weight for unknown reasons. "Some patients do not pay attention to some disease signals, which often delays the timing of treatment. For example, a girl has been losing weight, and after losing weight to a certain extent, her body continues to decline; a girl wants to whiten her skin, and finally even her lips become white. This whiteness is not normal, and these are all manifestations of cancer. You should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible."

Professor Gu Jin especially reminds us that to prevent colorectal cancer, we must get rid of the misunderstanding of "hemorrhoids". Many people are busy with work and have blood in their stools, thinking it is hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids have blood in their stools, while colorectal cancer has dark blood mixed in the stool. At this time, it is easy to confirm the diagnosis by going to the hospital for a stool occult blood test and colonoscopy.
