Number and days of defecation? Which is colorectal cancer? Many people are troubled by the frequency of defecation. As we all know, the normal frequency of defecation is once a day, but some people have changed the frequency of defecation. For example, some people defecate several times a day, and some people defecate once every few days.

Not long ago, I met a 45-year-old man who defecated three times a day. Despite frequent defecation, the appearance and color of defecation are normal. The patient questioned that he had intestinal cancer, but the examination showed that everything was normal. There is also a 60-year-old female patient who defecates once every three days. Although the frequency of defecation is less, the patient has no other discomfort. The appearance and color of defecation are normal, and the inspection results show that everything is normal.

Then the question is coming. Is it abnormal to defecate three times a day and once every three days? Do you all remind bowel cancer? Actually, it is not. Compared with defecation frequency, the character, color, taste and defecation habit of feces are more important. From the frequency of defecation alone, it is generally impossible to determine whether you have intestinal cancer, but you need to be careful when the following four situations occur.

First, stool bleeding, stool bleeding, many people will think of hemorrhoids for the first time, but bowel cancer is also the most common cause of stool bleeding. Once intestinal cancer is misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids, what will the conclusion become in retrospect? Therefore, for stool bleeding, whether it is hemorrhoids or not, it is recommended to do colonoscopy in order to clarify intestinal cancer.

Second, the nature of the stool changes, and the stool suddenly appears thin. Be careful of intestinal cancer. Normal people's stools are cylindrical in shape, and the narrowing is due to intestinal cancer, which leads to narrowing of the intestine. When defecation passes by, it is like a squeezed shower gel.

Third, defecation habits have changed. Normal people have regular defecation habits. If there is a change in defecation habits, you must be careful of intestinal cancer.

Four, diarrhea or severe constipation, some patients with diarrhea, stool sampling water quality is thin, stool is not formed. It needs to be solved many times a day, usually more than three times a day. Some patients have severe constipation, and their stools are granular and dry. Many wizards solve it once, usually less than three times a week. These all need to be careful about the possibility of intestinal cancer. There is no shortcut to determine whether there is intestinal cancer. The best way is colonoscopy. It is suggested that people who have a family history of intestinal cancer, are over 45 years old, like smoking and drinking, like a high-fat diet, and don't like fruits and vegetables very much, it is best to have a check-up to facilitate the clearance of intestinal cancer.
