As we all know, row is the most normal physiological manifestation, so many people have not paid much attention, but as everyone knows, defecation can also reflect the health of the body.
Especially in the recent period of inexplicable appearance of the following 4 manifestations, we should pay attention to it, as soon as possible to the hospital for rectal examination.
Because clinical investigation data shows that when suffering from rectal cancer, most patients have the same symptoms.
1. The frequency of bowel movements varies
Under normal circumstances, if you eat regularly and drink enough water, you will have a bowel movement every morning or evening.
However, some people in life suddenly have frequent stools, such as 3 to 4 times a day, and the disease lasts for more than two weeks, and if there is still no improvement after taking the drug, you need to rush to the hospital for examination.
Because when rectal cancer occurs, the volume of the tumor gradually increases, which will stimulate the intestine and prompt the patient to have a willingness to defecate.
Not only that, if the number of bowel movements increases at the same time, it is accompanied by false diarrhea and symptoms of mucus in the stool, which indicates that the disease has entered a serious stage, which is caused by changing the secretion of the intestinal mucosa.
2. Difficulty defecation
If the amount of water you drink on weekdays is not enough, and the stool is too dry, there will indeed be a problem of difficulty in defecation, but it will not exist for a long time, and it will be alleviated after increasing the amount of water you drink and eating foods rich in dietary fiber.
However, if the diet has not changed recently, but it inexplicably has symptoms of difficulty in defecation, and it feels that it has not been completely drained after each bowel movement, it is also a typical symptom caused by rectal cancer.
3. The shape of the stool changes
The shape of the stool is related to the intestine, because the intestine is cylindrical, so the feces excreted when healthy are also in the shape of a cylindrical shape with the thickness of the thumb.
However, if it has recently been found that the stool is getting thinner or flattened, it may be induced by bowel cancer.
The main reason is that when the volume of cancer grows, it will occupy the space in the intestine, so that the feces will be oppressed when excreted, and eventually the stool formation will change significantly.
4. Blood in the stool
Blood streaks in the stool are also one of the most common symptoms of rectal cancer, but some people will simply think that it is caused by hemorrhoids after discovering this manifestation, which can easily delay the best treatment time.
But it has to be mentioned that there is a big difference between blood in the stool caused by rectal cancer and hemorrhoids, if it is caused by hemorrhoids, the blood is often attached to the surface of the feces, but if it is rectal cancer, it will be mixed with feces.
Especially after entering the late stage, the excreted feces may also be mixed with obvious blood clots and rotten flesh-like tissues that are visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, if there are symptoms of blood in the stool, everyone must carefully distinguish, especially if there is a bad smell of stench, you must go to the doctor in time to prevent the disease from getting worse and worse.
All in all, in order to understand the health of the intestine, we need to pay more attention to the performance of defecation, if there is no reason to have the above mentioned stool with blood, difficulty in defecation, abnormal shape and increased frequency of defecation and other 4 situations, you must see a doctor at the first time. At the same time, stay away from staying up late, eating irregularly, sitting for a long time and other bad habits to prevent feces from accumulating for a long time.
