Let me tell you an example of an outpatient clinic to facilitate your better understanding.
Recently, a 60-year-old Uncle Wang came to the hospital for examination because of symptoms of blood in his stool. He thought he had hemorrhoids, but the test results showed that he had rectal cancer. Uncle Wang couldn't believe it, because he had always thought that he was in good health, how could he suddenly get cancer?In fact, this is not uncommon, and many patients think it is just a minor problem when they first develop a physical abnormality, but in fact they may have developed a serious illness.
So, what are the symptoms of rectal cancer in the early stages?First, patients may experience increased or decreased bowel movements, sometimes accompanied by abdominal pain. Secondly, patients may experience persistent abdominal distension pain, unexplained weight loss, weight loss, anemia, and other symptoms. Third, the shape of the stool may change, such as in the form of thin or flat strips. These symptoms can be a sign of a tumour in the gut. Fourth, the color of the stool may change and appear black. Eventually, patients may have blood in the stool, which may be caused by rectal cancer, and usually appear as mucous bloody stools with a strong sexual odor.
In order to avoid serious diseases such as rectal cancer, we should strengthen our awareness of disease prevention. Only by understanding the symptoms of these diseases and how to prevent them can we stay away from them as much as possible.
