Does colon cancer harm other functions?

Colorectal cancer is a type of cancer in the digestive system. This type of cancer brings great pain to patients when it occurs, and seriously affects their health. As the saying goes, "Misfortunes come from the mouth and diseases come from the mouth." In order to prevent the occurrence of this disease, we should not eat moldy and spoiled food and develop good eating habits. Many patients want to know what harm colorectal cancer does to the body? The following article introduces the harm of colorectal cancer to the human body. Let's take a look!

Specific manifestations of colorectal cancer

1. Right colon cancer

Right colon cancer is a common hazard of colorectal cancer. In addition, the right colon of colorectal cancer patients is wider, the stool is thinner, the colon is rich in blood and lymph, the absorption capacity is strong, and the tumor is mostly soft, which is easy to ulcerate, necrotize, cause bleeding and infection. Therefore, the clinical manifestations of colon cancer patients are mainly poisoning symptoms. However, when the condition of colon cancer worsens, intestinal obstruction may also occur.

2. Tumor ulceration

Tumor ulceration is a relatively serious hazard. Experts point out that this situation is due to the blood loss and toxin absorption caused by the ulceration of colorectal cancer, which can often lead to anemia, low fever, fatigue, weight loss, edema and other symptoms in colon cancer patients. The harmful manifestations of colon cancer are particularly prominent in anemia and weight loss.

3. Abdominal mass

The specific harmful manifestations of colorectal cancer include abdominal masses, which are mainly tumor bodies or masses that have infiltrated and adhered to the omentum and surrounding tissues. They are hard and irregular in shape. 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 severe and the mass may be fixed.

4. As the cancer cells of colon cancer rupture and lose blood, toxins are absorbed, which leads to anemia, fever, fatigue, weight loss, edema and other symptoms in patients. The most obvious harm caused by colon cancer to patients is anemia and weight loss.

5. The intestinal cavity of the left colon is relatively narrow, and the feces become very viscous and formed after passing through it. In addition, the cancer occurring in this part is invasive cancer. Since the intestinal cavity is annular and narrow, patients will experience intestinal obstruction earlier, and in severe cases, acute obstruction will occur.

6. The right colon has a wide intestinal cavity, and the stool becomes very thin after passing through it. The colon is rich in blood supply and lymph, and has a strong absorption capacity. Most cancer cells are soft cancers, which are prone to ulceration and necrosis, leading to bleeding and infection. Clinically, the main symptoms are poisoning, and in severe cases, intestinal obstruction may occur.

The above article explains the harm of colorectal cancer to the human body. Cancer patients not only suffer physical pain, but also psychological pressure. This double torture brings great pain to patients. Family members must communicate with patients in a timely manner and encourage patients to walk out of the shadow of the disease and build confidence to fight the disease.
