Brief analysis of the three main symptoms of rectal cancer

In real life, the symptoms of early colorectal cancer are often easily ignored by people, especially easily confused with intestinal diseases, and regarded as minor problems, which ultimately delays the treatment of colorectal cancer. So what are the common symptoms of colorectal cancer ? Here are some common symptoms of colorectal cancer.

Common symptoms of rectal cancer include:

1. Intestinal stenosis and obstruction

The cancer infiltrates around the intestinal wall, narrowing the intestinal cavity, especially at the junction of the rectum and sigmoid colon. Most of them are stenotic hard cancers, which can easily cause obstruction. Rectal ampulla cancer is mostly ulcerative, and the ampulla is wider. It is estimated that it will take about 1 to 2 years for stenosis and obstruction to occur. The stool will become thinner, defecation will be difficult, constipation will occur, and abdominal discomfort, bloating and pain will occur. Due to the accumulation of feces, a cord-like mass can be felt in the upper part of the sigmoid colon, and sometimes in the lower left abdomen. These are all common symptoms of rectal cancer.

2. Ambassadors’ Habits Change

Due to the mass and its secretions, intestinal irritation symptoms may occur, such as frequent bowel movements, feeling of no bowel movement, tenesmus, and other symptoms of rectal cancer, but the discharge is mostly mucus, pus, and blood. Initially, these "false diarrhea" phenomena often occur shortly after getting up in the morning, which is called morning diarrhea. Later, the frequency gradually increases, and even the patient cannot fall asleep at night, which changes the previous bowel habits.

3. Blood in the stool

It is one of the common symptoms of rectal cancer, but it is often ignored by patients or misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids, which delays treatment and worsens the condition. Blood in the stool is mostly red or dark red, mixed with mucus and blood in the stool, or pus and blood in the stool, sometimes accompanied by blood clots and necrotic tissue.

The above is an introduction to the common symptoms of rectal cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Patients must pay attention in their daily lives. If the above symptoms of rectal cancer occur, they must be checked and treated in time to avoid affecting their health.
