Ms. Li, who looked panicked when she came to the doctor, told Dr. Zhang about her recent troubles: she had 3 bowel movements a day, and this situation had been going on for a while, at first Ms. Li didn't pay much attention to it, she thought it was just an ordinary gastrointestinal problem, maybe it would resolve itself in a few days, but as time went by, the symptoms did not improve, but tended to get worse.
Dr. Zhang patiently listened to Ms. Li's description and carefully inquired about her medical history and lifestyle habits, and through the conversation, Dr. Zhang learned that Ms. Li usually does not eat regularly enough, often eats some high-fat and high-sugar foods, has a unhealthy lifestyle, and often stays up late, which are all high-risk factors for intestinal problems.
In order to find out the cause, Dr. Zhang arranged a series of tests for Ms. Li, including blood routine, stool routine, colonoscopy, etc., but the results of the examination surprised everyone: Ms. Li was already in the advanced stage of colorectal cancer, and this bad news undoubtedly brought a huge blow to Ms. Li and her family, especially her wife, who collapsed all of a sudden, "I always thought that it was normal to poop 3 times a day, how could it be cancer?" Ms. Li asked in a trembling voice, her eyes full of disbelief.
In the face of the patient's confusion and hesitation, Dr. Zhang patiently explained: "Many people have such a misunderstanding, thinking that frequent bowel movements are a manifestation of gastrointestinal health, but in fact, if there is a significant change in the frequency or habits of bowel movements and persists for a period of time, it is likely to be a sign of disease, especially for malignant tumors like colorectal cancer, the symptoms of bowel cancer in the early stage are often not obvious, and may only be a subtle change in bowel habits. ＂
Ms. Li's experience is a wake-up call for all of us: intestinal health cannot be sloppy, in daily life, we must develop good living habits, eat less high-fat, high-sugar food, eat more vegetables and fruits, ensure adequate sleep, and at the same time, once we find that bowel habits have undergone continuous changes, we must be vigilant, seek medical attention in time, and do not have a fluke mentality.
For patients who have been diagnosed with bowel cancer, Dr. Zhang also sent his own advice and encouragement, he said: "In the face of cancer, we must be vigilant, but there is no need to panic excessively, the development of modern medicine is changing with each passing day, even if it is advanced bowel cancer, as long as you actively cooperate with the treatment, there is also great hope to achieve good results, prolong survival, improve the quality of life, what you need most now is a strong belief and a positive and optimistic attitude, I believe that under the careful care of our medical staff, with the care and support of your family, you will be able to overcome the disease and usher in the second spring of life." 。 ＂
After listening to the doctor's words, Ms. Li wiped away her tears and nodded firmly, she knew that the road to recovery may be long and difficult, but as long as there is hope, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, and she will face the treatment that is about to start with the fullest enthusiasm.
Dr. Zhang watched Ms. Li's back and fell into deep thought, in his long career, cases like Ms. Li are not uncommon, many seemingly healthy people, when some changes have occurred in their bodies, often do not care, until the disease has progressed to a serious point, only to seek medical help in hindsight, which is not only a lack of understanding of the disease, but also the impact of luck.
As a doctor, Dr. Cheung feels a great responsibility and believes that communication and trust between doctors and patients are crucial, and that doctors should convey medical knowledge to patients in an approachable manner to improve their health awareness, and at the same time, doctors should treat each patient sincerely, understand their feelings, and give them help and support to the best of their ability.
Dr. Zhang decided to share Ms. Li's story with more people and make it a warning and inspiration, he vividly recorded this case through his medical blog, and used it as a starting point to popularize the relevant knowledge of common malignant tumors such as bowel cancer.
At the end of the story, let's return to Ms. Li again, under the careful treatment of medical staff, under the careful care of her family, her condition gradually stabilized, although the road ahead is still full of challenges, but Ms. Li's face has a long-lost smile, she is convinced that as long as she lives strongly, one day she will usher in the dawn of dawn.
Ms. Li's experience is a vivid lesson for all of us, it warns us that disease is never far away from us, and that each of us should be vigilant and enhance our awareness of prevention, and it also shows the importance of doctors and patients working together to fight cancer.
