How is rectal cancer diagnosed

In recent years, rectal cancer has become one of the major diseases that endangers society and human health, and it has brought great pain and distress to humans. In order to reduce the incidence of rectal cancer, we humans should master the diagnosis methods of rectal cancer:

In the early stage of diagnosis, patients may not have any subjective symptoms, or only have blood in the stool, which is similar to the symptoms of ulcers and is often ignored. Some patients may have slightly increased bowel movements and loose stools.

In the middle stage, patients have obvious changes in bowel habits, with the number of bowel movements reaching more than ten times a day. Most of the stools are loose or mucous, and mucous or thick bloody stools can also be seen. There is an obvious sense of urgency, and some patients may have fresh blood in their stools. There is dull pain or heavy pain in the abdomen before and after each bowel movement. In the late stage, the above symptoms are significantly aggravated, accompanied by anemia, weight loss, and obvious heavy pain in the anus. Some patients may have symptoms of low intestinal obstruction such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Some also have ascites, jaundice, frequent urination, and dysuria. Patients in the very late stage develop cachexia.

In the early stage of rectal cancer diagnosis, small nodules or ulcers can be felt, which are not hard in texture, can move with the mucosa and have good mobility.

In the middle stage, digital examination can feel a cauliflower-like mass with raised edges and ulcers in the middle. It is brittle and easy to bleed, with a certain degree of mobility. In the late stage, digital examination can feel a hard, stone-like mass that often surrounds the rectum. The local intestinal tract is stiff and narrow, the mass is brittle and easy to bleed, and it is fixed to the pelvis and cannot move.

The above are the symptoms of rectal cancer.
