What does a picture of colon cancer look like

Colorectal cancer is still very common in today's society. Moreover, since the diet of colorectal cancer patients will be affected, their physical condition will easily become worse after they become ill, and the symptoms of colorectal cancer will become more and more serious. Only when colorectal cancer patients know more about their illness can they get better treatment after they become ill.

What are the symptoms of bowel cancer?

Intestinal cancer includes colon cancer and rectal cancer. It is a type of cancer with hidden early symptoms and is easily confused with many diseases. Intestinal cancer grows slowly and is confined to a local area for a long time. Early detection can be cured by surgery. Statistics show that about 30% to 40% of intestinal cancer patients are misdiagnosed due to the negligence of doctors and patients themselves.

1. Changes in bowel habits

The frequency of bowel movements changed from once a day to two or three times a day, and after each bowel movement, there was a feeling that the stool was not completely empty.

2. 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.

3. Abdominal pain and bloating

Patients with colorectal cancer may experience abdominal distension and pain due to intestinal obstruction, with the incidence of abdominal pain being higher than that of abdominal distension. The pain is mostly in the middle and lower abdomen, with varying degrees of severity, mostly dull pain or distending pain.

4. 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, often accompanied by fatigue and unexplained weight loss, which is related to bloody stools, insufficient intake and excessive consumption.

Warm reminder: If a colorectal cancer patient develops multiple malignant tumors of the digestive tract, they must be treated together. If some malignant tumors do not disappear, the cancer cells can easily spread to other places. At this time, cancer will not only appear in our intestines, but there may be signs of cancer cell spread in various parts of the body.
