1. Patients with colon cancer may experience weight loss, sacral pain, perineal lumps, abdominal masses, ascites, and liver enlargement. Colon cancer care should be promptly sought at the hospital. Colon cancer patients who undergo anal reconstruction surgery to detect metastasis in the early stage often have a mental burden because the artificial anus has no sphincter and has an abnormal smell all over the body. Therefore, more explanations and encouragement should be given, and the patient should be helped and guided to take good care of the artificial anus. Therefore, this is one of the care methods for colon cancer.

2. Colon cancer care mainly involves sleeping in a side-lying position in the early postoperative period, with one side of the artificial anus on top, to avoid infection caused by feces contaminating the wound. The skin around the artificial anus should be kept clean. After each bowel movement, it should be cleaned with warm water and coated with vaseline ointment to protect the skin. Colon cancer care requires regular use of fingers with finger cots to expand the artificial anus. When the stool becomes thinner, expansion is more necessary.

The above is an introduction to the care methods for colon cancer. Do you have a deeper understanding of colon cancer now? Proper care of colon cancer in daily life can help patients recover their health as soon as possible. I wish you good health.
