People must know the main symptoms of colorectal cancer

If cancer is scary, then experts say that people who don't know the early symptoms of cancer are scarier, because they are the ones who ruin their lives. In order to detect and treat colorectal cancer in time, we need to have a clear understanding of the symptoms of colorectal cancer .

The main symptoms of bowel cancer are:

(I) Early symptoms:

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

(ii) 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 can 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.

(III) Symptoms of poisoning:

Due to blood loss and toxin absorption from tumor ulceration, symptoms of intestinal cancer often cause patients to experience anemia, low fever, fatigue, weight loss, edema, etc., among which anemia and weight loss are particularly prominent.

(IV) Symptoms of intestinal obstruction:

Symptoms of incomplete or complete low intestinal obstruction and colorectal cancer, such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain (swelling pain or colic), constipation or constipation. Physical examination can show abdominal distension, intestinal type, local tenderness, and strong bowel sounds.

(V) Late stage manifestations:

Symptoms of advanced colorectal cancer include jaundice, ascites, edema and other signs of liver metastasis, as well as cachexia, a mass in the anterior rectal fossa, supraclavicular lymph node enlargement and other manifestations of distant tumor spread and metastasis.

Most colorectal cancer patients are middle-aged or older, with a median age of 45 years old, and about 5% of patients are under 30 years old.

The clinical manifestations of colorectal cancer vary with the size, location and pathological type of the lesion. Many patients with early colorectal cancer may have no clinical symptoms, but as the disease progresses and the lesion continues to grow, a series of common symptoms of colorectal cancer may occur, such as increased frequency of bowel movements, blood and mucus in the stool, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation, intestinal obstruction, general fatigue, weight loss and anemia. The entire colon is divided into two parts, the right colon and the left colon, with the middle part of the transverse colon as the boundary. The clinical manifestations of these two parts of cancer do have their own characteristics.

The above is an introduction by experts on the symptoms of colorectal cancer at different stages, I hope it can help everyone. Experts remind everyone to pay attention to their lifestyle habits, combine work and rest, and not overwork to prevent the disease from taking advantage of opportunities. No one wants to see such consequences.
