There is a saying that "poor people love stomach cancer, rich people love intestinal cancer." The meaning of this saying is that people with bad living conditions are prone to stomach cancer, while people with good living conditions are prone to colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is a typical "rich cancer", which is highly prevalent in rich and developed areas and relatively low in poor areas.

Why is cancer still divided into poor people and rich people, and what is the special reason? Today, dietitians come to analyze it:

One of the main triggers of stomach cancer is high salt food, of which pickled food is the most serious. People with poor family conditions prefer to pickle meat and vegetables with salt in order to preserve food. So it is relatively easier to get stomach cancer.

Bowel cancer, on the other hand, is a disease of the rich, and the more high-fat, high-calorie food on the table, the greater the chance of getting bowel cancer. To put it more directly: being rich and eating too much meat makes you prone to bowel cancer!

There are many reactions to bowel cancer, we should be vigilant and go to the hospital for examination when we find the following reactions.

1, long-term constipation:

The stool is made up of the food residue we eat, intestinal flora and bile, and the role of the intestine itself is to help us store stool, no matter whether your intestinal movement is smooth or not, it will be inside the intestine.

We want to emphasize that constipation is not a trigger for bowel cancer. It's just that people who have bowel cancer will experience constipation more frequently.

Most people with colorectal cancer will experience constipation, this is because after colorectal cancer occurs, the mass inside may press on the bowel, blocking peristalsis, and this may cause constipation.

2. Abdominal pain:

When there is erosion and secondary infection of intestinal cancer, abdominal pain may appear due to the increase of peristalsis and spasm of corresponding intestinal segment. Some patients take persistent hidden abdominal pain as the first or obvious symptom, and when the right lower abdomen pain, it is often misdiagnosed as chronic appendicitis.

3, hemorrhoidal bleeding:

Hemorrhoids and rectal cancer are common clinical diseases, and both of them have similar morbidity sites; the initial symptoms of rectal cancer are atypical, and the clinical manifestations are similar with hemorrhoids, such as blood in the stool, difficulty in defecation, and detachment, etc. Therefore, if you are not careful, you can easily be diagnosed as a patient with chronic appendicitis. Therefore, it is easy to be confused if you do not pay attention.
