According to 2020 data, the number of new colorectal cancer patients in China is 3760,000 people, accounting for a quarter of the global total.
Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor that mainly occurs in the intestine, it is divided into small intestine cancer and colorectal cancer, which refers to malignant tumors that occur in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum, and the incidence is relatively low.
Colorectal cancer, on the other hand, mainly occurs in the colon and rectum, and its incidence has been increasing in recent years, posing a serious threat to people's health.
1.Life stress and mental factors
In modern society, people face a variety of mental pressures such as high-intensity job competition, family pressure, and emotional distress. These mental stresses not only affect the normal function of the body's immune system, but also lead to slowing down intestinal peristalsis, affecting the normal metabolism and excretory function of the intestines, and increasing the risk of bowel cancer.
2.Genetic factors
Colorectal cancer is a disease with certain genetic factors, and some data show that about 5% to 20% of colorectal cancer patients are caused by genetic factors. In particular, if the mother of the family suffers from colorectal cancer, the probability of the child developing colorectal cancer before the age of 50 is about three times higher than that of other groups.
3.Frequent constipation
In life, some people do not pay attention to the importance of bowel regularity, even if they have constipation symptoms. As everyone knows, long-term constipation will affect intestinal function and even induce intestinal malignancy. This is because if there is no bowel movement for a long time, the body's metabolic waste products and toxins are reabsorbed by the intestines, which may affect the intestinal function.
4.Lack of physical activity
When people don't exercise regularly, their bodies don't get the physical activity they need to stay healthy. Lack of physical activity increases the risk of cancer. Studies have shown that people who exercise have a lower risk of cancer than those who don't.
Regular physical activity can help reduce the risk of cancer in several ways. Exercise helps reduce body fat, which is one of the known risk factors for cancer. In addition, physical activity helps reduce inflammation in the body, which has also been linked to an increased risk of cancer.

1.Increased frequency of bowel movements
The normal number of bowel movements is one of the important indicators of good health, and in general, 1-2 bowel movements per day are normal. However, this changes when a tumour appears in the intestine.
The tumour will constantly irritate the intestinal mucosa, resulting in frequent bowel movements and an abnormal increase in the frequency of bowel movements, which may even reach 5-6 times or more. In addition, this condition can be accompanied by symptoms such as diarrhea, alternating constipation, or deformed stools.
When the tumor blocks the intestines, the feeling of incomplete stool can also occur. The appearance of these symptoms indicates that there may be tumors in the intestines, which need to be examined and ** in time.
2.Emaciated
When colorectal cancer problems arise, it is also a chronic process of attrition, resulting in anemia and wasting. And the growth of cancer cells will also require certain nutrients**, so there will be a problem of getting thinner and thinner, so don't ignore this performance.
3.Farts a lot
Under normal circumstances, people generally do not fend more than 10 times a day. However, if the number of farts increases over a period of time, exceeding the normal number of farts, and the farts are particularly smelly, you must be vigilant, which has a certain relationship with intestinal health.
If there is a tumor in the intestine, it will occur in the rectum near the ** part of the body, and the lumen is relatively small. Then there will also be a problem of blockage, so there will be frequent farting or fart particularly smelly, so be sure to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

1.Pain
There may be a painful condition, which most people think is a sign of hemorrhoids. But in fact, this is also caused by damage to intestinal function, and it will also be accompanied by problems such as blood in the stool, so don't ignore this phenomenon and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
2.Pain in the abdomen
When intestinal cancer occurs, significant abdominal pain can also occur. In particular, pain in the lower and lower abdomen, which develops from paroxysmal to persistent, is also a sign of intestinal cancer, and early screening is recommended.
1.Dietary modifications
Although bowel cancer has a genetic predisposition, many people will develop bowel cancer, mainly related to poor dietary Xi. In addition to paying attention to rest, we should also reduce bad eating habits Xi diet, eat lightly, and eat regularly.
2.Non-smoking
In order to avoid the increased incidence of bowel cancer, it is necessary to resolutely do not smoke. There are countless people who have smoked Xi habit in their lives, and most of them don't care about it when they don't have health problems, and they feel that smoking is very refreshing, but the impact is not much.
Unbeknownst to them, these harmful substances continue to accumulate in the body, which not only affects the health of the lungs, but also accelerates the lesions of blood vessels, and of course, multiple other organs will also be affected. Continued heavy smoking increases the prevalence of bowel cancer.
3.Control your waist circumference and weight
According to an article published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week can help reduce the incidence of bowel cancer by 7%. In particular, some people with waist circumference and excess weight need exercise to lose weight.
Research published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute showed that every 5kg weight gain was associated with a significantly increased risk of bowel cancer.
4.Exercise more
Sitting for a long time will put the rectum in a bent state, affect its blood circulation and blood supply to tissues and organs, slow down the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, and make harmful substances and metabolic wastes stay in the intestine for a long time; Over time, it irritates the intestines and can easily cause inflammation or cancer. So sit less and move more, and massage the abdomen properly.
Get screened regularly.
Digital rectal examination and stool examination should be done at least once a year, and colonoscopy screening should be done every 6 years after the age of 45. People with chronic enteritis and intestinal polyps, a family history of bowel cancer and a history of familial polyps, a history of gallbladder or appendectomy, and pelvic radiation therapy are at high risk of bowel cancer and should be taken seriously.
Bowel cancer, like other cancers, can increase the rate, prolong life, and improve the quality of life as long as it is detected and diagnosed early.
Tips: Doing the above points can prevent colorectal cancer, for colorectal cancer high-risk groups and go to the hospital once a year for digital rectal examination, this is a simple, inexpensive and effective examination method, which is of great significance for the detection of colorectal cancer. In addition, colonoscopy can also be selected, and the intestinal endoscopy can be done directly to the inside of the intestine.
