Zhao Chongyu, 37, who lives in Wuhan, is a programmer. He worked overtime at the desk for a long time, but at the age of his thirties, his hair loss was already very serious. Just like the sentence that everyone ridiculed, life is not only the code in front of you, but also the hair on your head, Zhao Chongyu felt that his head was about to be bald.
On March 22, 2018, when Zhao Chongyu was working overtime in the unit, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He habitually pressed it, and felt that it was nothing serious, it was all an occupational disease, and he didn't take it to heart.
Since then, Zhao Chongyu has felt back pain for three days, he thought that there was a problem with his lumbar spine and spine, so he went to a nearby health center for several physiotherapy, and after the symptoms were slightly relieved, he did not go again.
On June 18, 2018, when Zhao Chongyu was playing volleyball in the gymnasium, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his waist, which made his face white for a moment, and even his body trembled, and his whole center of gravity was unstable, and he almost fell to the ground. Zhao Chongyu thought that he had twisted his waist, so he hurriedly told his friend that he would not fight, and hurriedly went to the pharmacy to buy a few plasters and some anti-inflammatory drugs, and went to the physiotherapy hall several times in succession.
After a period of treatment, Zhao Chongyu felt much better, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to devote himself to his career and life. It's just that from that time on, he felt that his appetite gradually began to deteriorate, and he lost a lot of weight, and when he saw greasy food, he didn't want to eat. However, Zhao Chongyu thought it was caused by the hot weather, and thought about losing weight, so he didn't think much about it.
On October 5, 2018, when Zhao Chongyu was eating at home, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist and abdomen, this time the pain was different from usual, as if someone was pricking him with a dense needle, the fine and dense pain made his face pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his eyes were a little unclear, and even his underwear was soaked. When his wife saw him like this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly dialed the 120 emergency number and sent the person to the hospital.
After a series of examinations such as abdominal CT and blood routine at the hospital, the results showed that the fecal occult blood test was positive. Ancillary examination showed that colonoscopy showed ulcerative lesions on the mucosa of the colon, sigmoid colon, and descending colon, and a 5.0×7.0 cm mass locally, accompanied by erosive ulcers on the raised surface.
When the doctor got the test results, he couldn't help but shake his head, based on his years of clinical experience, this is most likely a malignant colon cancer, and it is still in the advanced stage. But he couldn't tell the patient directly, but only told Zhao Chongyu euphemistically that he needed to do another pathological examination to further clarify his condition.
Zhao Chongyu was in uncomfortably pain, and nodded in agreement. It didn't take long for the pathological examination results to come out, and Zhao Chongyu was finally diagnosed with advanced colon cancer.
Colon cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the colon and is mainly associated with a long-term high-fat, high-cholesterol diet. Patients tend to eat red meat, such as beef, lamb, pork and other meat products, and eat less fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits. Over time, it causes chronic inflammation of the colon, which may lead to diseases such as colon polyps, and secondly, genetic factors are also an important cause of the disease.
When Zhao Chongyu learned that he had been diagnosed with colon cancer, he couldn't believe it. His eyes widened, and his fingers trembled unconsciously. He couldn't believe that this was true, how could a person who was so good and upright suddenly be diagnosed with colon cancer, and this must have been a misdiagnosis! Didn't there have been many cases of this kind of misdiagnosis in hospitals in previous years? Zhao Chongyu was very emotional and strongly asked the doctor to give him a comprehensive set of examinations and make a new clinical diagnosis.
The doctor sighed, a little helpless, so he could only prescribe CT and MRI examinations to help him improve other auxiliary examinations. As a result, this examination was unbelievable, and it was found that Zhao Chongyu had more than 30 tumors of various sizes on his liver, and multiple metastases of cancer cells had occurred. The doctor was also stunned for a moment, he just guessed that Zhao Chongyu might have metastasized cancer, but he didn't expect the condition to be so serious, and if this situation continues, he should have a survival period of half a year at most.
The moment Zhao Chongyu got the inspection result sheet, he only felt that there seemed to be a huge roar in his ears, and the whole person was in front of him, and his body was a little unstable. At the back of that checklist, there was a diagnostic report with a survival time of less than half a year, telling him that his liver also had multiple metastases and that the cancer had completely spread.
When he got this result, Zhao Chongyu's whole person collapsed instantly, and he knelt directly on the ground, crying bitterly: Why? When his wife learned the news, she couldn't help but hide her face and cry bitterly, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing this situation, the doctor couldn't help but sigh and said: In fact, when the colon undergoes malignant transformation, there are three signs in the body. It is precisely because he ignores these three signals of the body that it leads to today's tragedy.
The first sign is abdominal pain
Patients with colon cancer usually have stomach pain, often accompanied by bloating. Due to the aggressive nature of the tumor, when the cancer cells spread and metastasize, such as serous invasion or retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis, it will involve the nerves in the abdominal cavity, resulting in a gradual increase in pain. Bowel cancer can cause disorders in the internal intestinal system, and intestinal obstruction may occur, and patients will show symptoms of nausea, loss of appetite, loss of appetite, and even vomiting. In severe cases, surgery is required.
The second signal is diarrhea
Diarrhea is also one of the abnormal signals in the body, and when the body often has diarrhea, it should be paid attention to in time. Cancer cells can cause a disturbance of the intestinal flora, which can lead to diarrhea. Inflammatory substances released by cancer cells can also cause irritation to the intestines.
The third signal is iron deficiency anemia
A UK study project showed that patients with iron deficiency anemia were more likely to develop colon cancer. The results of the study found that about one-third of the participants had iron deficiency anemia and later developed colon cancer. Colon cancer is associated with iron deficiency anemia. Because colon cancer can cause abdominal pain and blood in the stool, the body will be in a state of chronic blood loss as the disease progresses. Over time, anemia will occur. Colon cancer can cause iron deficiency anemia in the body to a certain extent.
Therefore, when there is an abnormal condition in the body, you should be vigilant in time, go to the hospital for medical examination, improve the relevant examination items, and receive corresponding treatment, so as not to delay the condition. Colon cancer is a malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal tract, and special attention needs to be paid to diet to avoid bad eating habits, such as overeating at dinner and overeating. Patients who have had colon polyps or ulcerative colitis in the past are more likely to develop malignant transformation and should go to the hospital regularly for follow-up. People over the age of 45 are advised to have a colonoscopy every two years to rule out the risk of colon cancer lesions.
In terms of diet, you can eat more fresh vegetables and vitamin-rich fruits, such as citrus, apples, bananas, spinach and other foods, and if necessary, you can supplement some carotene and vitamin C, trace elements, etc. In life, you need to pay attention to a light diet that is easy to digest, maintain adequate sleep, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and avoid bad habits such as staying up late and smoking and drinking.
All in all, the above three physical signals need to be paid attention to. At the same time, maintaining an optimistic and positive attitude, exercising moderately, and eating a balanced and nutritious diet can also help your health.
