Mid-term symptoms and manifestations of colorectal cancer

Four symptoms of mid-stage colorectal cancer: poisoning symptoms. Due to the blood loss and toxin absorption caused by tumor ulceration, patients often experience anemia, weight loss, fatigue, edema and low-grade fever, especially anemia and weight loss. Abdominal masses are tumor bodies or masses that are infiltrated and adhered to the omentum and surrounding tissues. They are hard and irregular in shape. Some of them can move with the intestines to a certain extent. In the late stage, the tumor is more invasive and the mass can be fixed.

Symptoms of mid-stage bowel cancer

In the early stages of colorectal cancer, there may be abdominal distension, discomfort, and indigestion-like symptoms, followed by changes in bowel habits, such as increased bowel movements, diarrhea or constipation, and abdominal pain before defecation. As the tumor grows, mucus or mucopurulent blood in the stool may appear.

Symptoms of intestinal obstruction

Symptoms of incomplete or complete low intestinal obstruction include abdominal distension, abdominal pain (swelling pain or colic), constipation or constipation. Physical examination shows abdominal distension, intestinal type, local tenderness, and strong bowel sounds.

Dietary tips for patients with colorectal cancer

1. If the patient suffers from colon cancer, he should choose low-fat food, because high-fat food puts a certain amount of pressure on our intestines. He should choose low-fat, low-salt food rich in vitamins and minerals, which is beneficial to the treatment and recovery of colon cancer patients.

2. Diet during radiotherapy. During radiotherapy, colorectal cancer patients suffer from Yin and blood damage, so they should focus on nourishing Yin and blood. Choose fresh vegetables and fruits. At the same time, you can use mushrooms to cook tofu, pork liver and spinach soup, etc.

3. We'd better eat less fried food and pickled food, as they contain many carcinogens. We should eat more anti-cancer food. Patients with colorectal cancer should avoid eating carcinogenic food and eat more anti-cancer food. According to clinical experimental research by medical experts, common anti-cancer foods include cruciferous vegetables (such as cabbage and cauliflower), radish, garlic, sour plum, soybean and beef.

4. Choosing a suitable dining environment and favorite food according to the preferences of colorectal cancer patients can promote appetite and improve the absorption and utilization rate of food.

5. In addition, patients with colorectal cancer should supplement more protein, because colorectal cancer consumes more protein in the body, and more supplementation can better ensure the balance of our body. Patients with colorectal cancer should choose to increase protein and calories by 20% more than the normal people's needs. If malnutrition has occurred, more protein can be supplemented. The best protein intake is plant protein and some animal protein.
