Beware of the early signs of colon cancer

In most people's minds, cancer seems to be an incurable disease. Although some cancers do have a poor prognosis, as long as they do not develop to the late stage, people can still maintain a good quality of life.

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor that occurs in the gastrointestinal tract. Its incidence is closely related to diet. Understanding the early "signals" of colorectal cancer is of great significance for preventing its occurrence.

The early symptoms of colorectal cancer are similar to those of general gastrointestinal diseases, mainly manifested by the following symptoms:

1. The phenomenon of sudden weight loss.

2. Unexplained anemia

3. Abdominal distension, abdominal pain, indigestion, and loss of appetite may occur.

4. You can feel a lump in the abdomen when massaging.

5. The stool contains blood (or black stool) and there is a feeling of falling.

6. There is pus, blood, mucus or blood in the stool.

7. Changes in bowel habits, such as frequent bowel movements or alternating diarrhea and constipation.

8. Persistent anal ulcers and persistent anal pain.

9. The shape of the stool changes, becoming thinner, flatter, or grooved.

10. Found multiple colon polyps or papillary adenomas

Changes in bowel habits are the most typical symptom of colorectal cancer. Once the above-mentioned discomforts occur, do not take chances and think that it is a common gastrointestinal disease. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible to screen for colorectal cancer and take effective treatments. This is the most effective measure to stay away from the pain of the disease!
