Can 14 years old have rectum cancer

summary

A while ago, I thought constipation was inflamed. After drinking herbal tea, I had blood in my stool. When I went to the hospital with my family, I learned that it was rectal cancer. About a month after the operation, the stool began to bleed again. Only when I went to the hospital did I know it was a recurrence. In order to avoid this, let's talk about the possibility of rectal cancer at the age of 14.

Can 14 years old have rectum cancer

Reason 1: personal risk factors: patients who had colorectal cancer in the past had a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer than normal people. Among female patients with breast cancer, ovarian cancer or cervical cancer, the risk of colorectal cancer was significantly higher than that of patients without the above history.

Reason 2: in daily life, most of the colon polyps are also one of the important factors causing rectal cancer. In fact, the colon polyps can be divided into adenomatous polyps, proliferative polyps, or inflammatory polyps and hamartomatous polyps.

The third reason: in daily life, the chronic inflammation of colorectal cancer is also the cause of people suffering from rectal cancer. For example, the acidic constitution causes chronic ulcerative colitis and granuloma caused by chronic schistosomiasis. Most of them are directly related to the occurrence of colorectal cancer.

At present, anorectal endoscopy is the most effective method to detect rectal cancer. It can be used to make pathological diagnosis for suspicious lesions, and at the same time, it can also be used to remove precancerous lesions such as rectal polyps or part of early rectal cancer under endoscopy, so as to avoid the huge physical and mental trauma of major surgery. It is recommended to have anorectal endoscopy every two years, especially for those over 50 years old or with a family history of rectal cancer or polyps.
