How to prevent colon cancer caused by constipation

The reason why constipation causes colon cancer is that constipation causes excrement to stay in the colon for a long time, and the colon absorbs too much carcinogens in the excrement. Therefore, preventing constipation can not only reduce the occurrence of acute diseases such as cerebral hemorrhage, but also prevent colon cancer.

To prevent constipation, you can take the following steps:

1. Develop good living habits, keep a regular schedule, prevent excessive mental stress, and develop the habit of regular bowel movements.

2. Change bad eating habits, eat more vegetables and fruits, eat foods rich in plant fiber, and eat less meat, which can effectively prevent colon cancer. Avoid eating foods that have a constipating effect, such as guava and overnight tea, and eat foods that have a laxative effect, such as plantains and sweet potatoes.

3. Participate in physical exercise regularly to promote intestinal motility.

4. Stop taking drugs that have constipation side effects, such as aluminum hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and morphine. Once constipation occurs, it should be treated promptly, such as taking fruit laxative tablets, using enema, and self-administering low-pressure enema.

In summary, colon cancer caused by constipation is mostly caused by bad living habits, so good living habits are an effective prevention of colon cancer caused by constipation. If it is mild constipation, it can be adjusted by changing diet, eating more fruits and vegetables, etc., and serious constipation requires timely help from a doctor.
