If you find these 4 abnormalities during defecation, you may have a tumor in your intestine and need to be treated in time

The large intestine is part of the human digestive system and can participate in the digestion and absorption of food. If the large intestine is damaged, people's digestive function is prone to disorder, constipation or diarrhea and other conditions. Therefore, people usually need to take good care of their intestines, eat more foods that are beneficial to intestinal health, and conduct regular examinations to clarify the health of the intestines, so as to reduce the incidence of intestinal diseases. So, what symptoms appear when going to the toilet, indicating that there is a tumor in the large intestine?

What symptoms occur when going to the toilet and indicate that there is a tumor in the large intestine?

1. Bowel habits have changed

Generally speaking, normal healthy people have regular bowel movements, and may have regular bowel movements every day, and the number of bowel movements is one to two times, which is a normal metabolic condition. If this balance is broken in a short period of time, and bowel habits change, it is mostly related to intestinal health problems. If a tumor appears in the intestine, bowel habits may change under the stimulation of the tumor. People may have bowel movements multiple times a day, and the bowel movement time is irregular, so you need to be vigilant.

2. Excreting tarry stool

When a tumor appears in the large intestine, it will not only affect the normal function of the intestine, but may also cause certain damage to the intestinal mucosa, leading to intestinal mucosal bleeding. In addition, changes will occur within the tumor during the development of some tumors. If the tumor ruptures and bleeds, the feces people excrete may appear tarry or even black. This is mainly because the amount of iron in the feces increases after intestinal bleeding, and the color of the feces will change.

3. Obvious abdominal pain

Normal people will experience constipation before defecation, and basically no abdominal discomfort after defecation. However, people with tumors in the large intestine often feel abdominal pain during defecation. This is mainly because when feces pass through the intestines, it is easy to cause compression and squeezing of the tumor in the intestines, and people will feel obvious pain in the abdomen. If you do not have these symptoms during normal defecation, but always feel abdominal pain during defecation within a short period of time, you need to pay great attention to it.

4. Constipation and diarrhea alternate

When the large intestine is invaded by a tumor, it will not only reduce the digestive ability of the person, but may also cause abnormal bowel movements. Patients often experience alternating constipation or diarrhea symptoms, and sometimes they do not defecate for several days, and sometimes they have diarrhea several times a day. If this abnormal bowel movement occurs, you need to go to the hospital to check your intestinal function in time, as it may be caused by damage to intestinal health during the development of the tumor in the large intestine.
