How is the diagnosis of rectal cancer symptoms

If you do not pay attention to the symptoms of rectal cancer, it is difficult to find out that you are ill. Experts point out that, especially in the early stages of rectal cancer, these symptoms are not obvious and can easily be confused with the symptoms of other diseases. If you do not want to find out that you have advanced rectal cancer when you are finally examined, you must detect the symptoms of rectal cancer in the early stages.

Rectal Cancer Symptoms Diagnosis

1. Blood in the stool: Early lesions of colorectal cancer are limited to the mucosa, and may be asymptomatic or only cause changes in bowel habits. When the tumor grows to a certain extent, blood in the stool may appear, and the blood is mostly light and dark, adhering to the surface of the stool. Red blood cells can be found in stool microscopy, and the fecal occult blood test is positive. For patients with bloody stools or persistent occult blood in the stool, the possibility of colorectal tumors should be considered first, and further related examinations should be performed.

2. Mucus and bloody stools: When the tumor ruptures, the stool often contains bright red or dark red blood and mucus, and the stool and blood are mixed.

3. Changes in bowel habits: The frequency of bowel movements changes from once a day to two or three times a day, and there is a feeling of incomplete bowel movement after each bowel movement.

4. Alternating diarrhea or constipation: If there are symptoms such as alternating diarrhea and constipation, it may be because the growth of the tumor has affected the normal physiological function of the intestines, and the possibility of cancer should be considered.

5. Abdominal pain and bloating: Colorectal cancer patients may experience abdominal bloating and pain due to intestinal obstruction, of which the incidence of abdominal pain is higher than that of bloating. The pain is mostly in the middle and lower abdomen, with varying degrees of severity, mostly dull pain or distending pain.

6. Anemia and weight loss: As the disease progresses, patients may develop chronic wasting symptoms such as anemia, weight loss, fatigue and fever, and even cachexia, which are often accompanied by fatigue and unexplained weight loss, which are related to bloody stools, insufficient intake and excessive consumption.

Finally, experts pointed out that there are many foods that will irritate the human intestines. Over time, symptoms of rectal cancer will easily appear. Therefore, in daily life, if you want to prevent rectal cancer, then a light diet is very important. There are many rectal cancer patients who did not realize the importance of diet in the early stages and regretted it after suffering from rectal cancer.
