How to prevent colon cancer

When we suffer from colon cancer, it will be particularly painful, and it will also affect the normal life of patients and friends. Therefore, friends need to take colon cancer seriously and do a good job of preventing colon cancer in daily life. Next, let’s take a look at the prevention methods of colon cancer. I hope the following introduction of the editor can help everyone.

Colon cancer can be prevented by:

Prevention 1. Actively prevent and treat intestinal diseases and take physical exercise. Prevent various polyps, chronic enteritis (including ulcerative colitis), schistosomiasis, chronic dysentery, etc. Intestinal polyps should be treated early. There are five major types of colon polyps, namely adenomatous polyps, biochemical polyps, inflammatory polyps, hamartoma polyps, etc. Among them, adenomatous polyps are true tumor polyps and a precancerous lesion of colorectal cancer. Therefore, when adenoma is found in the large intestine, it should be treated, the adenoma should be removed and pathological examination should be performed. It is hoped that it can be removed at the benign adenoma stage to prevent colorectal cancer.

Prevention 2. Regular check-ups. What methods should be used to prevent colon cancer? People at high risk of colorectal cancer, such as men over 40 years old, patients with familial multiple intestinal polyps, patients with ulcerative colitis, patients with chronic schistosomiasis and people with a family history of colorectal cancer, should have regular check-ups and be alert to the signs and early symptoms of colorectal cancer, such as changes in bowel habits, alternating diarrhea and constipation, bloody or black stools, and flatter and thinner stools.

Prevention 3. Eat high-fiber foods every day. It was found that in the case of a high-fat, low-fiber diet, especially in people who eat more fat from sheep and beef, the incidence of colorectal cancer is significantly higher than that of people who eat a low-fat diet. A high-fat diet can promote the growth of anaerobic bacteria in the intestinal cavity and produce more carcinogenic components; less dietary fiber, slow defecation, and small stool volume will prolong the contact time between carcinogens and the intestinal mucosa. Therefore, experts point out that the prevention of colorectal cancer should start with eating habits. High-fiber foods should be consumed every day, such as mushrooms, fungus, seaweed, buckwheat, sweet potatoes, soybeans, green beans, corn and various fruits.

What methods should be used to prevent colon cancer? The above is a detailed introduction made by the editor. I hope that the editor's introduction can help more people. Experts point out that we should be wary of the occurrence of this disease in life, carefully understand some knowledge about colon cancer, and do some preventive work for this disease in normal times. Finally, the editor wishes all patients and friends a speedy recovery.
