Is stomach pain and bloody stool caused by colon cancer?

Abdominal pain and blood in the stool may be caused by intestinal cancer, but it may not be intestinal cancer, but may be caused by diseases such as hemorrhoids or anal fissures. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor. The specific situation is as follows:

1. It may be: Abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea caused by colorectal cancer are usually caused by tumors blocking the intestines, invading the intestinal mucosa or nerves. As the tumor grows, it may cause intestinal stenosis, abnormal secretion of digestive juices, etc., causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. At the same time, ulcers or erosions may occur on the surface of the tumor, leading to bleeding. See a doctor for treatment in time. For early colorectal cancer, surgical resection can be performed, which usually includes removal of the tumor and part of the intestine, as well as lymph node dissection. For mid- and late-stage colorectal cancer, chemotherapy can be used to shrink the tumor and control the progression of the disease.

2. Probably not: It may be caused by diseases such as hemorrhoids or anal fissures, which cause abdominal pain and bleeding. Hemorrhoids are caused by varicose veins around the anus. As the hemorrhoids grow larger, they may compress the surrounding tissues and cause abdominal pain. At the same time, the surface mucosa of the hemorrhoids may be damaged, causing bleeding. Anal fissures are caused by cracks in the skin or mucosa around the anus, usually due to constipation, long-term diarrhea and other reasons. It can be treated with surgeries such as ligation and excision. After the operation, you need to keep your bowels open, avoid strenuous exercise, and return to the hospital for regular checkups to promote healing.

Maintaining good living habits, controlling diet, quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining an appropriate amount of exercise such as slow walking, brisk walking, jogging, etc., avoiding excessive fatigue, will help recovery from the illness.
