Does intestinal cancer cause fever? What are the symptoms?

Does bowel cancer cause fever? What are the symptoms?

Whether a patient with colorectal cancer will have a fever depends on the specific situation. If there is no infection, there will generally be no fever. If there is an infection, there will generally be a fever, and symptoms such as abdominal pain, abdominal mass, and changes in stool characteristics will usually occur.

Colorectal cancer may be caused by factors such as genetics, aging, bad living habits, and bad eating habits, which will lead to pathological changes in the rectum and colon, and usually cause symptoms such as bowel habits, stool characteristics, abdominal pain, and abdominal lumps. If it is not infected by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria or viruses, it usually does not cause fever symptoms.

Once bacteria or viruses invade the body, the toxins released will affect the temperature regulation center, causing the body to heat up. Patients can wipe their bodies with hot towels to open the pores, which is conducive to the distribution of heat in the body. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, they also need to use ibuprofen sustained-release tablets, acetaminophen tablets, aspirin enteric-coated tablets and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's advice.

Once colorectal cancer is diagnosed, surgical treatment should be performed promptly. If necessary, chemotherapy can be performed using drugs such as capecitabine tablets, irinotecan hydrochloride injection, and fluorouracil injection according to the doctor's advice. Patients should choose the appropriate treatment plan based on their condition.
