How to defecate in the late stage of rectal cancer

summary

Rectal cancer refers to the cancer from the dentate line to the junction of rectum and sigmoid colon. It is one of the most common malignant tumors in digestive tract. Because of its location deep into the pelvic cavity, complex anatomical relationship, operation is not easy to complete, postoperative recurrence rate is high, late defecation obstruction, emaciation and even cachexia. So how late should defecate? Here are a few ways.

How to defecate in the late stage of rectal cancer

Method 1: the intestinal peristalsis function of patients with advanced rectal cancer is reduced, and the stool is not discharged smoothly. Because the retention time is too long, the stool is absorbed in the intestine, resulting in dry stool. Kaisailu can be used for enema, but kaisailu can not be used for a long time. If possible, it can be coordinated with traditional Chinese medicine decoction.

Method 2: if the local invasion of cancer is serious or the metastasis is extensive and can not be cured, in order to relieve the obstruction and reduce the patient's pain, palliative resection is feasible. Limited resection of the intestinal segment with cancer, suture the distal end of rectum, and take the sigmoid colon for stoma (hartma operation). If it is not possible, only sigmoid colostomy should be performed, especially in patients with intestinal obstruction.

Method 3: if it is incomplete obstruction, you can take some Runchang laxatives, such as Simotang, Runchang pills, etc., which are all traditional Chinese medicine preparations
