summary

My grandmother's stomach is a little uncomfortable during this period of time. It has lasted for nearly half a year. Sometimes she will loose and there will be blood in her stool. When she goes to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as colon cancer, which belongs to early stage. So I'll introduce to you the symptoms of colon cancer.

What symptom does colon cancer have

First, patients with colon cancer will change their defecation habits: in the right half of colon cancer, the stool is thin in the early stage, with pus and blood, and the frequency of defecation increases. When the cancer continues to grow, which affects the passage of feces, there will be alternate diarrhea and constipation. In the left half of colon cancer, it is difficult to defecate, and it will continue to aggravate with the development of the disease. In addition, if the location of the cancer is low, there may be a feeling of poor defecation and urgency.

Second, patients with colon cancer will have gastrointestinal symptoms: abdominal distension, discomfort or indigestion like symptoms. Among them, the right half of colon cancer, mostly abdominal pain, discomfort or dull pain. At the beginning, it can be intermittent, and then it becomes persistent. It is often located in the right lower abdomen, which is very similar to the attack of chronic appendicitis. However, in the left colon cancer, the obstruction can be sudden, with abdominal colic, abdominal distension, hyperactivity, constipation and exhaust obstruction, or chronic obstruction symptoms, such as abdominal distension, paroxysmal abdominal pain, hyperactivity of bowel sounds, constipation, fecal blood and mucus.

Third, patients with colon cancer will have poisoning symptoms: early symptoms of colon cancer often include anemia, low fever, fatigue, emaciation, edema and other manifestations, especially anemia and emaciation. Abdominal mass: abdominal mass can be found in about 50% of patients. It is a tumor or a mass infiltrated and bonded with omentum and surrounding tissues. It is hard and irregular in shape. Some masses can have a certain degree of activity with the intestinal tract. In advanced colon cancer, the mass can be fixed due to the severe invasion of cancer.

matters needing attention

Colon cancer patients should pay attention to eat more vegetables rich in dietary fiber, such as celery, leek, cabbage, radish and other green leafy vegetables. Vegetables rich in dietary fiber can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, increase the frequency of defecation, and take away carcinogenic and toxic substances from feces.
