If you fart with two signs, be alert to colon cancer

There are two signs of farting without specific indications. Beware of the claim that farting is a sign of colorectal cancer. Farting is not a direct sign of colorectal cancer, but if it is accompanied by persistent blood in the stool or black stool, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, anemia, and fatigue, you should be highly alert to the possibility of colorectal cancer. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time for relevant investigations. The details are as follows:

1. Continuous blood in stool or black stool: Blood in stool or black stool may be one of the early signs of colorectal cancer. Blood in stool usually manifests as bright red blood in the stool, while black stool may be a manifestation of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, with the stool becoming black in color. If this phenomenon persists, especially when it occurs with increased farting, it needs to be taken seriously and a colonoscopy should be performed as soon as possible.

2. Unexplained weight loss: Unexplained weight loss is a warning sign for many serious diseases, including colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer patients often experience significant weight loss due to the large amount of nutrients consumed by tumor growth and impaired intestinal absorption. If you experience unexplained weight loss along with increased farting, you should see a doctor immediately for a detailed examination.

3. Abdominal pain or discomfort: Intestinal cancer may cause intestinal obstruction or tumor compression of surrounding tissues, causing abdominal pain or discomfort. This pain is usually persistent or intermittent and gradually worsens over time. If persistent abdominal pain occurs with increased farting, you should be alert to intestinal problems.

4. Changes in bowel habits: Patients with colorectal cancer often experience changes in bowel habits, such as alternating constipation and diarrhea, and increased or decreased bowel movements. If these symptoms are accompanied by increased flatulence, especially if they last for a long time, you should be alert to the possibility of intestinal malignancy.

5. Anemia and fatigue: Anemia caused by chronic blood in the stool may cause symptoms such as fatigue and weakness. This type of anemia is usually iron deficiency anemia, which manifests as pale face, dizziness, fatigue, etc. If farting is accompanied by these symptoms, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to check your blood routine and ferritin levels.

If you experience the above symptoms, please seek medical attention immediately for a detailed examination to rule out the possibility of colon cancer and take appropriate treatment measures according to the doctor's advice.
