Aunt Jiang is 54 years old this year, and at this age, she still maintains a gathering with her little sisters, almost every day at noon and at night, and occasionally makes an appointment to practice yoga in the gym, and her life is very healthy and comfortable~
One morning, Aunt Jiang found that it was very difficult for her to go to the toilet, not only could she not get out for a long time. She thought it was just a sign of poor digestion, so she didn't take it seriously. But as time went by, the family found that she was getting thinner and thinner, and she had lost 30 pounds in the past four months! This was not a good sign, and they rushed her to the hospital for examination.
Unexpectedly, the doctor diagnosed her with advanced bowel cancer. The trigger may be related to eating supper often, and the doctor also reprimanded him for losing weight rapidly four months ago! Why not see a doctor in time?
1. Please note that stinky farts or bowel cancer warning!
Some people must be very puzzled, why is bowel cancer related to such a daily behavior as farting? Let Xiao Jiu popularize science for everyone. The two main components of bowel cancer are stomach cancer and colorectal cancer.
It is understood that bowel cancer is caused by the abnormal differentiation of certain cells of oil. The scary thing is that the abnormal differentiation of such cells will not stop differentiating with the elimination of the cause, and at the same time, it is not regulated by the body's physiology, and will continue to destroy normal cells, tissues and organs.
This is because the tumor has abundant nourishing blood vessels, and the new cells on its surface are very immature, and when the food in the intestines passes through here, it is easy to rub and bleed, and when the blood enters the intestines and is decomposed and digested by the flora at the same time, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia will be produced, which is the discharge of stinky fart.
At the same time, don't underestimate any of the farts you excrete. Because frequent farting may be a sign of indigestion, because frequent farting may be due to food staying in the intestines for too long, producing more gas, which can lead to indigestion.
It can even be a manifestation of the body's nutrient absorption, because frequent farting may affect the absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, and a certain amount of oxygen will be consumed during the fart process, resulting in the formation of a local hypoxic environment, which will interfere with the normal metabolic activities of the cells of the small intestinal mucosa.
Finally, frequent farting may affect quality of life and daily activities. Xiao Jiu recommends that you adjust your diet, reduce your intake of gas-producing foods, pay attention to your body's signals, and seek medical attention in time to rule out potential digestive diseases if the symptoms persist.
2. 3 abnormalities or disease signals when going to the toilet!
It's nothing to be shy about asking who hasn't let go of a few "farts" in the toilet, because farting is a normal physiological phenomenon, usually excreted by intestinal gas through the anus to relieve abdominal discomfort. But did you know that when farting is accompanied by some abnormal symptoms, it may indicate that something is wrong with the body?
1. Change colors
Under normal circumstances, the gas expelled by a person should be colorless or slightly whitish. If you notice a black or green color of gas, you may have a problem with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
2. The smell is pungent
Healthy exhaust often has a faint rotten egg smell. If the smell suddenly becomes strong and pungent, such as the smell of rotten food, it may indicate lactose intolerance, enteritis, etc. If it persists for a long time, there is a risk of bowel cancer.
3. Frequent fart
If you don't deliberately eat too much gas-producing food, but you pass gas more than three times a day, it may be due to functional dyspepsia.
3. Did you know that bowel cancer may have a genetic probability
In modern society, with the accelerated pace of life, many people neglect to pay attention to their own health. However, some seemingly trivial behaviors can have a profound impact on our health. For example, the common habit of wiping with a tissue after a bowel movement can even increase the risk of bowel cancer.
Even bowel cancer is hereditary. This environmental and lifestyle-related factors can lead to the development of colorectal cancer. Compared to acquired lifestyles such as high-fat diets, alcohol consumption, and smoking, genetic predisposition is more difficult for individuals to detect and control.
Genetic predisposition is associated with mutations in specific genes, such as APC, TP53, etc., which play a key role in colonic epithelial cell growth and differentiation. When these genes are mutated, they can lead to excessive cell proliferation, increasing the risk of bowel cancer.
