What are the criteria for diagnosing colorectal cancer?

Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor disease. It will affect the patient's normal bowel movements and cause other diseases if not treated in time. So what are the criteria for diagnosing colorectal cancer ? Let's take a look.

The diagnostic criteria for colorectal cancer are as follows:

1. Changes in bowel habits: For example, there is a long period of constipation, followed by diarrhea, or even alternating diarrhea and constipation; or the number of times you go to the toilet every day increases abnormally, and you always feel that you can't defecate completely. Some people have thinner, harder, or watery stools.

2. Abdominal pain: In the early stage, you will only feel pain in the lower abdomen, and sometimes you can hear the "sound of intestines moving". When you use a little force to go to the toilet, you will feel severe abdominal pain and sometimes you will feel bloated and can't fart.

3. Anemia and weight loss: Anemia means that there is continuous mild bleeding in a place in the body. If the face is pale and weight is lost, it means that the condition is not good.

4. Blood in the stool or bleeding, or with mucus: The most common situation is blood or mucus in the stool. Sometimes you will find that the amount of bleeding increases and is bright red, which is anal bleeding.

5. Feeling of urgency and heaviness: You always feel the urge to defecate, and the anus feels heavy and as if it is falling, so you often want to go to the toilet.
