As one of the largest immune organs in the human body is the intestine, the health of the intestine has a very important significance for the health of the human body.
After eating, the stomach and intestines begin their work, decomposing and digesting the food, and after processing, it is converted into small molecular substances, so as to provide the body with the appropriate energy.
When the human intestines are healthy, often eat well, but when there are certain problems in the intestines, it will be tasteless, and long-term development may lead to malnutrition and even diseases.
Especially in contemporary society, with the acceleration of the pace of life, many people have developed bad living habits and eating habits, which caused gastrointestinal problems . The most common one is rectal cancer .
When rectal cancer occurs, there will be some abnormalities in the bowel movement, so we must pay attention to it, and go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to prevent the further development of the disease.
What are the culprits that cause rectal cancer?
1. High-fat, low-fiber diet
Poor diet is also one of the main causes of rectal cancer.
With the improvement of living standards, almost every meal in many families is big fish and meat, and vegetables are rarely seen on the dining table.
However, eating in this way will have a negative effect on your health, and will cause a large amount of toxins and garbage in the body to accumulate in the intestines, and the risk of cancer will increase.
2. Adenomatous polyps
The occurrence of any kind of disease is not formed by accident once or twice, but requires a long process in between.
If you find adenomatous polyps in the intestines , you must take it seriously, because this type of polyps usually has a very high risk of transforming into colorectal cancer, which is also a precancerous symptom of colorectal cancer.
3. Less activity
Due to work reasons, some people need to work at the desk all day long in front of the computer, which will reduce the amount of activity. This bad lifestyle will increase the chance of rectal cancer .
In order to prevent the occurrence of rectal cancer, you have to do activities at ordinary times. Of course, you can take half an hour to an hour to go jogging after work, which can promote blood circulation and accelerate intestinal peristalsis, thus effectively preventing the occurrence of rectal cancer.
In addition, you must be vigilant when you find the following two abnormalities during defecation, which may be a precursor to rectal cancer.
1. Black stool appears
If you find that the color of stool is dark in the recent period, it is necessary to rule out whether you have recently taken related drugs or eaten some dark-colored food.
In addition to these factors, we must be vigilant, because the appearance of black stool may be caused by disease.
Under normal circumstances, the size of the tumor will increase with the development of the disease.
When these enlarged tumors are under certain pressure, it will cause rupture and bleeding , then the blood will be combined with the feces, and the color will change accordingly, appearing as black feces . After this situation, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
2. Mucus appears
If you find that there is a lot of mucus in the stool during defecation, this is also an abnormal symptom. If the body is relatively healthy, then the defecation will be smoother.
If the digestive system does not have reduced function, it will not produce too much mucus. If this happens, it is mostly related to the impact of tumor development on the intestinal health environment.
After the intestinal function is disturbed, the digestive capacity will also decrease, which will not only cause diarrhea , but may also lead to the appearance of mucus stool , which is a common change after the appearance of cancer cells in the rectum.
When these two symptoms of abnormal stool appear, go to the hospital for colonoscopy in time.
Through colonoscopy, the specific lesions in the intestine can be visually observed, and some suspicious tissues can also be directly clamped for pathological examination, and whether rectal cancer has occurred can be judged according to the examination results.
After rectal cancer is diagnosed, drug therapy and surgery can be used according to the patient's specific condition . In addition, in daily life, patients should maintain a happy mood, and develop a regular life routine, drink plenty of water, and avoid cold and overwork.
