Early symptoms of colon cancer?

Most of the early stage of colorectal cancer have no obvious symptoms. When rectal cancer grows to a certain extent, a series of symptoms will appear. Hematochezia is one of the most common symptoms of early rectal cancer, but it is often ignored by patients, thinking that it is dysentery, enteritis or hemorrhoids and other diseases. In the early stage of rectal cancer, there will be changes in stool habits, frequent defecation and mucus pus like discharge. At first, these phenomena often occur in the early morning, and then gradually increase, and even can't sleep at night, which changes the past stool habits. Rectal cancer can cause stricture and obstruction for about 1 to 2 years, with thin stool, difficult defecation, constipation, abdominal discomfort, bloating and pain. If the anal sphincter is involved, it will also cause anal incontinence, pus blood will often flow out, dirty underwear, etc. Anorexia, weight loss, anemia and other systemic symptoms can be seen in patients with advanced rectal cancer.  

The treatment of ileal cancer will generally take surgical treatment, can use radical surgery, this kind of surgical resection is more thorough, the cure rate is very high. Radiotherapy is also a good choice for patients with advanced rectal cancer if the local infiltration of cancer is serious, the metastasis is extensive, or the patient's physical condition is not suitable for surgery. However, radiotherapy has great harm to the body, so patients with poor physical function should be carefully selected, and conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is preferred for such patients, Although the short-term effect of chemotherapy is not obvious, but the long-term effect is good, in improving the quality of life, prolong the survival time is still relatively good.

As mentioned above, colorectal cancer is a kind of lifestyle disease, so it is very easy to prevent it. First of all, we should correct the bad eating habits and give up the preference of three high and one low (high fat, high calorie, high protein and low cellulose). Eat less barbecue, fried and high-fat greasy food, eat more coarse grains, vegetables and fruits. But also to maintain the smooth flow of stool, develop the habit of regular defecation every day. Keep exercising, exercise can relax, relieve stress, affect hormone levels, metabolic rate, and improve the body's immunity.
