summary

Recently, I've been in poor health. I often feel abdominal distension and bloody stool. I went to the hospital and said it was rectal cancer, but I don't believe it. I think it was misdiagnosed. Later, I went to another hospital for examination, and the doctor said it was rectal cancer. Today, let me talk about the main reasons for misdiagnosis of rectal cancer.

What are the main causes of misdiagnosis of rectal cancer

One of the reasons: neglect of examination is also one of the reasons for misdiagnosis of colorectal cancer: we all know that 88% of rectal cancer patients with bloody stool, anal pain and falling sensation can find tumor through digital rectal examination. Once the tumor is found, it can be diagnosed by sigmoidoscopic biopsy.

The second reason: rectal cancer is most likely to be misdiagnosed because they don't pay attention to the blood under the stool. Some patients think it's hemorrhoids and anal fissure when they see the blood under the stool. They can buy some medicine at the drugstore for treatment until they are invalid or their condition is serious. Most of them are in advanced stage. The misdiagnosis rate of rectal cancer is high. The other reason is that they are not vigilant enough for rectal cancer patients under 30 years old.

The third reason: if it is diagnosed by pathology, more than 90% can be diagnosed. However, if you are really worried, you can go to a large hospital for examination and diagnosis, and see if there is any metastasis. If you are afraid of misdiagnosis, you can go to other hospitals for re examination.

matters needing attention

Because there are no symptoms in the early stage of rectal cancer, it is difficult to be detected. Only through the intestines can we see whether there is canceration. For our own health, we can go to the hospital regularly for physical examination. Even if we find out that rectal cancer is also early, it is also very good for treatment. With the current medical technology, it can be cured.
