Rectal cancer patients must learn to self-diagnose in order to receive timely treatment

There are many patients with rectal cancer in today's society, but they do not know the diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer, so they may not be able to get timely treatment, which will affect the development of the disease. Therefore, patients must first know the diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer in order to detect the disease in time. Let's talk about the diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer.

The diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer are:

1. Changes in bowel habits

For example, if you have constipation for a long time, followed by diarrhea, or even diarrhea and constipation alternately; or if you go to the toilet more often every day, and always feel that you can't defecate completely. Some people have thinner, harder, or watery stools. This is one of the diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer.

2. Feeling of tenesmus

I always feel like I have to defecate, and my anus feels heavy and there is a feeling of falling, so I often want to go to the toilet. This is also a very clear diagnostic criterion for rectal cancer.

3. Blood in the stool or bleeding, or with mucus

The most common situation is blood or mucus in the stool, and sometimes the amount of bleeding increases and is bright red, that is, anal bleeding. This is also a diagnostic criterion for rectal cancer.

3. Abdominal distension and pain

In the early stage, you will only feel pain in the lower abdomen, and sometimes you can hear the "sound of intestines moving". Some patients said that they feel severe abdominal pain when they exert a little force when going to the toilet. This diagnostic criterion for rectal cancer is relatively common.

The above mentioned content is the diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer. I hope everyone can understand it. Only by knowing these diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer can patients better detect the disease. In fact, these diagnostic criteria for rectal cancer are very easy to judge. As long as patients read carefully, they will be able to remember them. I wish all patients can receive treatment as soon as possible.
