Information about intestinal health

It is also a "predictor" of colorectal cancer

Early detection and early treatment are very important for cancer prevention and treatment. For this reason, the editor reminds everyone that if your "poop" has these 4 changes, you should be alert, as it may be a sign of colorectal cancer.

1. Blood in the urine

The stool of patients with hemorrhoids contains blood, usually fresh blood, which is mostly caused by abrasions on the affected area during defecation. Most of the blood drips down with the stool, so it does not mix with the stool, and there is no mucus present.

The blood in the stool caused by colorectal cancer is mainly a mixture of mucus, blood, and stool. The blood is usually dark red and is accompanied by changes in the stool characteristics, as well as symptoms such as abdominal pain and abdominal masses.

2. Difficulty in defecation

If you experience obvious difficulty in defecation and dry stools during defecation, and sometimes you cannot defecate smoothly without the help of laxatives, we all need to be vigilant about this series of sudden typical constipation situations. In addition, if constipation has existed for a long time and the symptoms have suddenly worsened in recent times, making defecation more difficult, then don't let your guard down and be alert to the arrival of rectal cancer.

Generally speaking, if the mass in the rectum grows larger and forms a blockage in the intestinal cavity, it can easily lead to varying degrees of intestinal obstruction, which in turn can cause constipation in the patient.

3. Changes in bowel habits

If you find that your long-standing bowel habits have suddenly changed, for example, you used to have bowel movements in the morning, but in recent times, your bowel movement time and habits have become irregular, then in this case, it is best not to be careless. You need to be alert to whether it is related to the onset of rectal cancer. It is best to go to the hospital for a physical examination in time when this happens.

4. Changes in stool shape

The stool becomes thinner, or grooves appear in the shape of the stool.

When intestinal cancer occurs, the tumor occupies a certain position in the intestine, which will cause the stool to change in shape to a certain extent. Under normal circumstances, the stool should be formed and the thickness should be relatively uniform, but if the stool becomes thinner every time you go to the toilet, it is likely caused by the compression of the tumor in the intestine.
