Uncle Sun, 65 years old this year, found a large amount of blood excreted during a bowel movement one day. After coming to the hospital for examination, the doctor gave the result that it was colon cancer.
Uncle Sun couldn't believe it, he thought it was a repeated illness of hemorrhoids, and finally turned into cancer. Many doctors have expressed quite professional opinions on this matter, so I will not go into too much detail here, but only talk about the final result.
The vast majority of doctors believe that the public's attitude towards this disease in daily life is mostly shy and shy, resulting in the anus and other parts of the anus when there is a lesion, embarrassed to go to the hospital for examination, and eventually drag out a big problem.
As an existing item in hospitals, digital examination must be necessary. Checking for physical discomfort is the correct and scientific choice.
Doctors warn that if you have the following four conditions in your body, you must go to the hospital for timely medical treatment, and do not avoid medical treatment because you feel ashamed.
pain
As one of the most commonly used parts of a person, the anus often has various conditions. The causes and circumstances are very complex, such as pain that can occur when too much pepper is consumed.
Most of the time, the pain in the anus is not due to the above reasons. After all, it is still rare for people who know that they can't eat chili peppers and choose to go their own way.
Real pain in real life can be due to the appearance of hemorrhoids, fissures and other conditions; It may also be due to the appearance of serious diseases such as colon cancer.
Diseases such as eczema, pruritus, and perianal abscesses can evolve into more serious conditions if left untreated.
In a digital examination, the anus and rectum are located very close together and can be checked for the condition of the rectum and lower colon together. If there are abnormal conditions such as polyps or lumps, they can also be detected in time through digital examination.
Only after an examination can there be a specific treatment plan. Only when doctors know the extent of the patient's illness can they provide safer medical treatment for the patient.
If pain does occur, the diameter of the anus is definitely an important means of checking the patient's physical condition.
Constipation alternates with diarrhea
The alternation of constipation and diarrhea means that after a period of constipation, diarrhea immediately follows. A normal physical condition should be that bowel movements tend to normal after constipation or diarrhea.
If the two occur alternately, it is likely to be irritable bowel syndrome, and if it is a more serious condition, it may be intestinal dysfunction caused by colon cancer.
For example, irritable bowel syndrome can be relieved by diet or medication.
If a malignant tumor occurs in the intestine that alternates constipation and diarrhea, the patient needs to endure not only physical pain, but also extremely severe psychological pain.
The most frightening condition is when the tumor spreads to other organs or lymph nodes, the cause is complex, and many infected organs will cause doctors to change their medical plan. Constant changes in medical protocols can make the condition more and more serious.
Usually, you must pay more attention to your bowel habits, if there is a more obvious change in the bowel situation within a certain period of time, and accompanied by obvious symptoms in the body, timely medical treatment is the right choice.
bleeding
bleeding is a relatively common symptom of disease, usually manifested as blood on the stool, blood dripping after stool, and blood around the anus.
Conditions such as fissures, malignant tumors of the intestines and other conditions can cause bleeding, and most of these blood are bright red in color. This is because the bleeding site is relatively shallow, and the blood retains its original color without being digested by the gastrointestinal tract.
The amount of blood in bleeding is also relatively small, mostly in the range of a few drops to tens of milliliters. bleeding is mostly intermittent in time, and may also occur after constipation or diarrhea.
Patients should note that hemorrhoids and rectal cancer bleeding conditions are different.
bleeding due to hemorrhoids is due to the rupture of varicose veins near the rectum and anus. The color is mostly bright, and the bleeding time is mostly after defecation, during defecation. Hemorrhoids are also usually accompanied by symptoms such as itching, swelling, burning, etc.
The color of bleeding caused by rectal cancer is mostly dark red. When the tumor is located in the intestine, when it ruptures and bleeds, the blood will carry mucus or pus from the tumor.
The dark red color is also because blood will be excreted with intestinal peristalsis, and blood will also react with some substances in the intestine.
Although the situation is similar, it is important to pay attention to the difference. If you find that the blood is dark red and accompanied by a certain amount of mucus, be sure to go to the hospital for timely medical treatment.
Changes in bowel characteristics
To explain the change in bowel traits in layman's terms, it means that the color, shape, and frequency of stool are different from daily life. For example, dry and hard stools, reduced frequency of bowel movements, black stool, bright red, etc. are all changes in bowel characteristics.
Such as inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal dysfunction, intestinal infection can cause changes in bowel characteristics. Abnormal bowel traits are also one of the early symptoms of intestinal malignancies such as colon cancer and rectal cancer.
If you find that your intestines are wrong, you must go to the hospital in time for a digital examination. As a preliminary examination of intestinal diseases, it can not only help doctors determine the cause, but also provide a reference for doctors in subsequent treatment.
Mild diseases are naturally better sooner the better, and severe diseases are naturally found earlier, the easier they are to heal. Having a certain understanding of the program before actually performing an examination can also reduce the appearance of emotional problems such as embarrassment during the examination.
The editor said
The most serious consequence of avoiding medical treatment is to put your life on the line. In front of professional doctors, it will not lead to a decrease in the professionalism of doctors because of the secrecy of the diseased part.
In your daily life, of course, you can pay attention to protecting your hidden parts. But when the body is uncomfortable, or even has sent a more serious signal, you must focus on your physical condition and don't worry too much.
People who refuse to go to the hospital to diagnose and treat the diseased area because they are shy, because the doctor is of the opposite sex, will eventually kill themselves because of this.
No doctor cares about the cause of the disease, the location of the disease, all doctors want is to solve the patient's pain. Even if they are soldiers, teachers have their own professional beliefs, and doctors also have their own professional beliefs.
