How to prevent colon cancer

Experts point out that early stage colorectal cancer is not a terminal illness and can be cured if diagnosed and treated early. In addition, you should also pay attention to the following points:

Points to note 1. Regular check-ups. People at high risk of colorectal cancer, such as men over 40 years old, patients with familial multiple intestinal polyps, patients with ulcerative colitis, patients with chronic schistosomiasis, and people with a family history of colorectal cancer, should have regular check-ups and be alert to the signs and early symptoms of colorectal cancer, such as changes in bowel habits, alternating diarrhea and constipation, bloody or black stools, and flatter and thinner stools.

Point 2: Improve eating habits. Arrange daily diet reasonably, eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and other foods rich in carbohydrates and crude fiber, appropriately increase the proportion of coarse grains and grains in staple foods, and do not eat too fine or too refined. Change the habit of eating meat and high-protein foods as staple foods. Eat less high-fat foods, especially control the intake of animal fat. Therefore, a high-fat, high-protein, low-fiber diet produces many carcinogens, which act on the large intestine for a long time, and will inevitably lead to an increase in the incidence of colorectal cancer. Therefore, eat less or no foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol, including: lard, butter, fatty meat, animal offal, fish roe, etc. Vegetable oil is limited to about 20-30 grams per person per day (about 2-3 tablespoons). Do not eat or eat less fried foods. Eat foods containing unsaturated fatty acids in moderation, such as olive oil, tuna, etc. Supplement more than 35 grams of dietary fiber per day. Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber: konjac, soybeans and their products, fresh vegetables and fruits, seaweed, etc. Replace fine grains with some coarse grains. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement carotene and vitamin C. Eat walnuts, peanuts, dairy products, seafood, etc. in moderation to supplement vitamin E. Pay attention to the intake of foods rich in trace element selenium, such as malt, fish, and mushrooms.

Point 3: Actively prevent and treat intestinal diseases and take physical exercise. Prevent various polyps, chronic enteritis (including ulcerative colitis), schistosomiasis, chronic dysentery, etc. Intestinal polyps should be treated early. Colon polyps are divided into five categories, namely adenomatous polyps, biochemical polyps, inflammatory polyps, hamartoma polyps, etc. Among them, adenomatous polyps are true tumor polyps and a precancerous lesion of colon cancer. Therefore, when adenoma is found in the colon, it should be treated, the adenoma should be removed and pathological examination should be performed. It is hoped that it will be removed at the benign adenoma stage to prevent colon cancer. If not treated early, most of them will develop colon cancer, and the prognosis is poor. In addition, habitual constipation should be actively treated, and attention should be paid to keeping the bowels smooth.
