Different symptoms of different degrees of colon cancer

All diseases can be mild or severe, including colon cancer. The symptoms of colon cancer vary with the severity of the disease and the location of the manifestation. In order to understand the early symptoms in time and effectively treat colon cancer, let us take a look at the symptoms of colon cancer at different stages below.

1. The earliest symptoms of colon cancer may include abdominal distension, discomfort, and indigestion-like symptoms, followed by changes in bowel habits, such as increased frequency of constipation, diarrhea or constipation, and abdominal pain before defecation. Later, there may be mucus in the stool or mucus-purulent blood in the stool.

2. Symptoms of poisoning: Due to blood loss and toxin absorption caused by tumor ulceration, patients may often experience anemia, low fever, fatigue, weight loss, edema and other symptoms, especially anemia and weight loss.

3. Manifestations of intestinal obstruction: Symptoms of incomplete or complete low-position intestinal obstruction, such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain (distension or colic), constipation or constipation. Physical examination shows abdominal distension, intestinal type, local tenderness, and strong bowel sounds, which are also symptoms of colon cancer.

4. Abdominal mass: It is a tumor or a mass that has infiltrated and adhered to the omentum and surrounding tissues. It is hard and irregular in shape. Some of them may have a certain degree of mobility along the intestinal tract. In the late stage, the tumor infiltration is more severe and the mass may be fixed.

5. Symptoms of advanced colon cancer: Signs of liver metastasis such as jaundice, ascites, edema, as well as cachexia, a mass in the anterior rectal fossa, and enlarged supraclavicular lymph nodes, which are manifestations of distant tumor spread and metastasis.

Through the above introduction to the symptoms of colon cancer at different degrees, I hope to draw everyone's attention. Since the early symptoms are not very obvious, if any discomfort occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. However, the earliest symptoms are not necessarily colon problems. I hope everyone can have a healthy body.
