How to prevent hamartoma

Many patients who seek medical advice do not know the cause of their hamartomas. In fact, sometimes the prevention knowledge of hamartomas is closely related to the cause of the disease. Only by learning more methods to prevent hamartomas can we avoid the occurrence of the disease. So how should hamartomas be prevented? Let me introduce it to you below.

1. Improve eating habits. Arrange daily diet reasonably, eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and other foods rich in carbohydrates and crude fiber, appropriately increase the proportion of coarse grains and whole grains in the staple food, and do not eat too fine or too refined. Change the habit of eating meat and high-protein foods as the staple food. Eat less high-fat foods, especially control the intake of animal fat. Therefore, a high-fat, high-protein, low-fiber diet produces more carcinogens, which act on the large intestine for a long time, which will inevitably lead to an increase in the incidence of colorectal cancer.

2. Actively prevent and treat intestinal diseases and take physical exercise. Prevent various polyps, chronic enteritis (including ulcerative colitis), schistosomiasis, chronic dysentery, etc. Intestinal polyps should be treated early. There are five major types of colon polyps, namely adenomatous polyps, metaplastic polyps, inflammatory polyps, hamartomatous polyps, etc. Among them, adenomatous polyps are true tumor polyps and a precancerous lesion of colorectal cancer. Therefore, when adenoma is found in the large intestine, it should be treated, the adenoma should be removed and a pathological examination should be performed.

It is hoped that benign adenomas can be removed at an early stage to prevent colorectal cancer. If not treated early, most of them will turn into colorectal cancer, and the prognosis is poor. In addition, habitual constipation should be actively treated, and attention should be paid to maintaining smooth bowel movements.

3. Regular check-ups. People at high risk of colorectal cancer, such as men over 40 years old, patients with familial multiple intestinal polyps, patients with ulcerative colitis, patients with chronic schistosomiasis, and people with a family history of colorectal cancer, should have regular check-ups and be alert to the warning signs and early symptoms of colorectal cancer, such as changes in bowel habits, alternating diarrhea and constipation, bloody or black stools, and flatter and thinner stools.

The above are the methods to prevent the incidence of hamartoma, I hope it can help you. Patients with hamartoma should avoid excessive force when working and doing housework, do not hold heavy objects, and do not do strenuous exercise to avoid increasing abdominal pressure and causing tumor rupture and bleeding. You can often do low-intensity exercises such as long-distance walking, regularly check kidney B-ultrasound, and pay attention to the size of the tumor.
