Don't be stubborn and miss the best time for treatment

Lao Hu, who was in good health on weekdays, has not been feeling so good recently. He often feels that his stool is not formed, and sometimes he is a little constipated. This happens repeatedly, and his stomach has been hurting badly. One day, after eating, he touched his stomach and felt like there was a lump on the right side of his abdomen. Within a few months, he began to lose weight, have a low fever, and feel weak. His wife asked if he had any serious illness and urged him to go see a doctor. Lao Hu said no, but he couldn't persuade his wife, so he went to the hospital.

The colonoscopy showed that Lao Hu had colon cancer. But Lao Hu didn't understand. He heard from others that patients with colon cancer would have bloody stools or bloody stools like dysentery. This was why Lao Hu told his wife so confidently that he didn't have any serious illness.

The doctor explained that Lao Hu only knew one side of the story. Colon cancer can be divided into left and right, and the symptoms of the two are different. Lao Hu had right-sided colon cancer, and the main clinical manifestations were systemic anemia, low fever, fatigue, weight loss, and abdominal mass. Lao Hu's own symptoms of blood in the stool, constipation, diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, etc. were mostly caused by left-sided colon cancer. The two manifestations are quite different. Don't make the mistake of thinking that only blood in the stool means colon cancer, and don't be stubborn and delay the opportunity for early detection.

Lao Hu wasted several months of his time in vain. Now Lao Hu is preparing for surgery. He said that he would never again be smart by relying on half-knowledge.
