What are the symptoms of colon cancer

There are many intestinal diseases, and colon cancer is one of them. Many people still have limited knowledge about colon cancer, so they know less about the symptoms of colon cancer . Next, let's explore the knowledge of colon cancer in this regard.

First of all, the symptom of colon cancer in the early stage is often blood in the stool, which is caused by damage or ulceration on the surface of the lesion. When bleeding occurs in the right colon cancer, the blood is mixed with the stool. If the amount of bleeding is small, only the occult blood test is positive, and the blood cannot be seen by the naked eye of the colon cancer patient. When bleeding occurs in the left colon cancer, because the left colon is closer to the anus, the stool has already formed at this time, so the blood often adheres to the surface of the stool. If the amount of bleeding is large, purple or bright red blood can be seen at a glance. These are all symptoms of colon cancer.

Secondly, once the early signs of the above-mentioned symptoms of colon cancer appear, you should take the time to do a fiberoptic colonoscopy, because fiberoptic colonoscopy can not only directly see the manifestations of colon cancer, but also can immediately perform a biopsy, and confirm or exclude colon cancer through pathological sections. Some people are afraid of fiberoptic colonoscopy and are willing to choose barium enema examination, which can certainly detect colon cancer, but because cancerous tissue cannot be obtained, it still cannot be diagnosed. A comprehensive and detailed examination can detect cancer as early as possible. Clinically, patients with colon cancer see blood on the stool, which is also one of the symptoms of colon cancer.

The above is a detailed description of the symptoms of colon cancer. I hope it can help everyone to have a more comprehensive understanding of colon cancer. If you find any signs of colon cancer, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.
