Chen Dong is 28 years old this year, is a handsome guy, every day in addition to going to work is like to find all kinds of food to eat, and then he also likes to fitness, attracting a lot of girls and children, I thought he could be so chic, however, in the past few months, his stool began to appear abnormal.
At the beginning, Chendong's stool gradually became very thin, and sometimes there were even some bloodshots, and he felt some pain and discomfort when he had a bowel movement.
Chendong suspected that this was due to his preference for buffets, which could be minor problems, at most indigestion or other minor gastrointestinal diseases, so he decided to skip the buffet for the time being to see if his stool could improve.
Unexpectedly, Chendong's discomfort became more and more obvious, sometimes he had to go to the toilet seven or eight times a day, and then he was a little panicked and had to hurry up to see a doctor.
Chen Dong immediately came to the nearby tertiary hospital to find a proctologist, and the doctor recommended him to do a colonoscopy after understanding the situation.
Colonoscopy is a special examination method to check whether the anorectum has lesions, the accuracy is very high, soon, the results of colonoscopy came out, indicating that there was a lump of about 2x2x2cm in Chendong's colon, the nature is unknown, but the doctor judged that it should be a malignant lesion according to experience, Chen Dong was very worried, and the doctor told him: "It is best to do pathological examination, minimally invasive surgical resection."
Chen Dong immediately agreed to undergo surgery, during which the doctor collected tissue samples and sent them to the laboratory for laboratory tests. As a result, the microscope alerts cancer cells with abnormal degeneration.
Although he was mentally prepared from the beginning, it was still a huge shock for him. Chen Dong's eyes were red, and he couldn't accept the fact that he had cancer in his twenties, but the doctor comforted"Your current situation is still relatively young, and you are not very old, so it is not very difficult for the body to resist, and it is more important than anything else to ** as soon as possible."
Chen Dong was soon transferred to the oncology department for examination, and began to officially receive chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and in less than a month, Chen Dong's hair fell out, his face was pale, and there was no blood, which was unbearable for him at this age.
After many rounds of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, Chendong's condition finally improved, and the tumor cells were basically undetectable, and they did not spread to other parts. Chen Dong suddenly felt very lucky, ready to replan his life, he felt as if he had died once, and he realized how important health is.
In the following years, Chendong had regular physical examinations every year and fell in love with swimming, running and other sports.
Colorectal cancer actually has more obvious symptoms in the early and middle stages, and most of the time this symptom is manifested through stool, so if you don't want colorectal cancer to cause huge trouble in your life, it is most effective to pay attention to the symptoms early.
First, the color of the stool will change
Most colorectal cancer patients will have a red stool, which is actually caused by bleeding from the tumor mixed with the stool, which is mostly caused by the tumor bleeding in the colon or rectum.
When the tumour grows and erodes the blood vessels in the intestinal wall, it can cause bleeding. These bleeding may be so small that only a small amount of bright red blood can be observed in the stool or may be found on a occult blood test.
However, it is important to note that not all red stools are caused by colorectal cancer, and it is important to distinguish them from some common diseases.
Hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are a problem caused by dilated venous plexus, which can also cause bright red blood in the stool.
, colon inflammation. Inflammation of the colon, such as inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, can also cause red stools.
, intestinal infections. Certain intestinal infections, such as bacillary dysentery or amoebic dysentery, can also cause blood in the stool.
If your stool is already noticeably red, and you have other symptoms such as abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, etc., it is highly recommended to go to the hospital for further evaluation and diagnosis.

2. The frequency of bowel movements may increase.
Bowel cancer usually forms tumors in the digestive tract that can compress or block the digestive tract, causing constipation or poor bowel movements. However, some types of colorectal cancer may also affect the normal movement and movement of the intestines, resulting in an increase in the frequency of bowel movements.
For example, if the tumor is located close to the colon, such as at the end of the colon, it may stimulate increased bowel movements, resulting in an increase in stool frequency. This process may be accompanied by other symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, etc.
It is also possible that the tumor causes changes in the secretions of the digestive tract, and the normal peristalsis of the intestine is controlled by nerves and hormones, and some types of bowel cancer may affect these regulatory mechanisms. For example, some bowel cancers secrete hormones or other substances that may affect bowel movements, leading to increased bowel movements.
Therefore, four or five or six times a day, large friends remember, this is not normal, sometimes it may really be bowel cancer knocking on the door, everyone should go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination, especially those who have a lot of bowel movements and do not form stool every time.
Third, there is more mucus in the stool.
There will be some mucus on the surface of the stool to ensure smooth discharge, but if there is a lot of mucus in the stool, you should be careful, because it may be mucus produced by the tumor, and some types of colorectal cancer cells will secrete mucus, which may lead to an increase in mucus in the stool. This mucus may be produced by the tumor cells themselves, or it may be caused by the tumor stimulating normal intestinal cells to secrete mucus.
It is also possible to have an inflammatory response to the intestines, which often leads to an inflammatory response in the intestines, which damages the intestinal mucosa. The damaged mucosa releases more mucus to protect the mucosal surface, which can lead to an increase in mucus in the stool.
It may also be due to changes in bowel patency, which can block or compress the bowel, causing constipation or difficulty in defecation. In this case, the stool stays in the intestine for an increased period of time, and the intestinal mucosa may secrete more mucus to lubricate the stool, resulting in an increase in mucus in the stool.
Of the above three points, you should be careful if you encounter any point, and you should hurry up to check at two points, and it may be too late at three points.
Bowel cancer has a lot to do with diet, and eating too much of some foods can quickly cause bowel cancer.
, pickled food.
The nitrite in pickled food reacts with amino acids to form nitrosamine substances. Nitrosamines are considered potential carcinogens that can cause DNA damage and mutagenesis, increasing the risk of bowel cancer.
Preserved foods usually contain a lot of salt. An association between a high-salt diet and an increased risk of colorectal cancer has been observed. High salt intake may lead to damage to the intestinal mucosa, triggering an inflammatory response and cell damage, ultimately increasing the risk of bowel cancer.
Studies have shown that the co-intake of nitrite and salt may have a synergistic effect that increases the risk of bowel cancer. This means that exposure to both nitrite and a high-salt diet can be more harmful than when ingesting both substances alone.
, barbecue food.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and PCBs have been found in barbecued foods, and during the grilling process, fat dripping onto the fire can cause open flames and smoke, producing carcinogens such as PAHs and PCBs. These compounds are considered potential colorectal carcinogens.
During high-temperature cooking, foods containing nitrites, such as meat, react with gravy or proteins to form nitrosamines. Nitrosamines have been shown to be associated with the risk of bowel cancer. In addition, during grilling, oxidation products of proteins and fats can react with intestinal cells and lead to inflammation and cell damage, which may increase the risk of bowel cancer.
Therefore, when the symptoms appear, it may indicate that the tumor has formed, and it is a little too late at this time, so avoiding the intake of certain things in daily life and increasing the proportion of fresh food is obviously helpful in preventing bowel cancer.
