What are the symptoms of colon cancer and colitis

summary

Recently, my cousin has always been able to feel a strong tingling in his lower abdomen. I heard that it might be colitis. I suggested that he go to the hospital for examination. Unexpectedly, he was found with colon cancer. Now let me talk about the symptoms of colon cancer and colitis.

What are the symptoms of colon cancer and colitis

First, there are many diseases leading to chronic enteritis, such as chronic dysentery, intestinal tuberculosis, schistosomiasis, ulcerative colitis, etc. The common feature of these diseases is that the intestinal mucosa has extensive inflammation, so the frequency of defecation increases. Generally, some feces can be excreted each time, and the feces may be mixed with blood and mucus. Patients with chronic enteritis usually have increased intestinal peristalsis before defecation, so patients feel abdominal pain or abdominal discomfort, which can be alleviated after defecation, and their defecation will be relieved until the next attack. The interval between the two attacks is generally one to several hours. Chronic enteritis generally has no obvious obstruction phenomenon.

Second: compared with chronic enteritis, colon cancer patients also have more frequent defecation, but they often excrete blood and mucus instead of feces. Even if feces are excreted, blood and mucus do not mix with feces, but adhere to the surface of feces. Unless the late accompanied by intestinal obstruction, colorectal cancer patients generally do not have abdominal pain before defecation, defecation after defecation will not be clearly reduced, often have endless defecation feel how.

Third: the difference between the two is: Patients with colitis, abdominal pain after defecation, pain relief after defecation, want to defecate feeling will be relieved, every time can eliminate feces, feces may be mixed with mucus and thick blood, generally no obvious obstruction phenomenon, such as abdominal distension does not fart. In colon cancer patients, pus, mucus and feces are not mixed, but adhere to the surface of feces, abdominal distension, defecation will not significantly reduce, defecation is not clean, pain occurs in the late. Ulcerative colitis should be actively treated, a small part of the possibility of cancer.

matters needing attention

Although colitis and colon cancer have some similarities in symptoms, they may have abdominal distension and pain, but it is also easy to distinguish. Colon cancer symptoms are generally much more serious than colon cancer, such as feces with blood and mucus.
