Cancer is still a difficult problem in today's world, and the incidence of colon cancer is located in the third place of gastrointestinal cancer, which belongs to one kind of malignant tumor of digestive tract. In the middle and late stages, it can be manifested as abdominal bloating, indigestion, blood thickening, etc. This disease will bring a series of adverse effects to the normal study life of patients. So, how can this disease be recognized at an early stage by observing the patient's symptoms?

Generally speaking, bowel cancer should be treated at the first time after the appearance of bowel cancer, and take treatment measures for bowel cancer, or else bowel cancer will continue to deteriorate and may cause health impacts. Bowel cancer can be categorized into colon cancer and rectal cancer, and generally there will be some abnormal manifestations in the early stage of the disease. Then, what are the abnormalities in the early stage of colon cancer? Let's take a look together.

Generally speaking, the early symptoms of colon cancer are as follows:

I. Change of bowel habit

Early stage of colon cancer usually manifests as thinning of stool, pus and blood, increase in the number of bowel movements, and when the tumor continues to increase, the effect of excreta of the disease will also appear as alternating diarrhea and constipation. Difficulty in evacuating the bowels is more frequent and increases with the progress of the disease. In addition, if the cancer is located relatively low, symptoms of urgency to defecate may also occur.

Two, indigestion

The body will send out signals in the early stage of the appearance of colon cancer, if there is a decline in digestive function, it may be caused by colon cancer. The slow development of localized cancerous lesions will easily lead to the decline of digestive function, and patients are more likely to have indigestion, and compared with normal people, they are more likely to have the decline of digestive function due to the lack of dietary control. Therefore, if you find that your digestive ability decreases, you should know the reason, and if it is related to colon cancer, you need to start the treatment in time.

Three, toxic symptoms

Early colon cancer symptoms include anemia, low fever, fatigue, emaciation, swelling, etc. Anemia and rapid weight loss in a short period of time are one of the most likely symptoms of early colon cancer.

Fourth, there is a tendency of weight loss

There will be some different changes on the body in the early stage when colon cancer appears, although the symptoms are not obvious. For example, if the body weight starts to have a tendency to decrease, it may be caused by colon cancer. Because the intestinal function decreases during the development of colon cancer, the absorption of nutrients is hindered.

Combined with the fact that cancer cells tend to compete with normal cells for nutrients in the process of cancer development, without sufficient nutrition, patients may begin to show weight loss. If the weight changes and shows a downward trend, you need to be alert to colon cancer.

Fifth, easy to bloat

In the early stage of colon cancer, some people will feel bloating in the abdomen, which is also a possible phenomenon in the early stage of colon cancer. In the early stage of the disease, the intestinal function is impaired, the digestion of food may be hindered, and under the influence of localized cancer, the burden of digestion will be increased, and some people will feel that they have abdominal bloating.

Some people may feel bloating when they have symptoms of abdominal distension. Therefore, the cause of abdominal distension needs to be identified, and if it is caused by cancerous lesions in the colon, treatment should be carried out in time to restore the function of the intestinal tract. This will prevent the symptoms of bloating from persisting.

When colon cancer appears, there are some changes in the body, such as abnormal bowel movement, which may be caused by colon cancer. In the case of colon cancer, the local tumor volume slowly increases and affects the surrounding tissues, the patient's intestinal function will begin to decline, and then the change of bowel habit occurs. It is easy to discharge mucus stools or have diarrhea, so you need to be alert to colon cancer when you notice the abnormal performance.

Beijing Sanxi Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic TCM oncologist Wang Sanhu, director of Beijing Sanxi Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, said that at present, the first choice of treatment for colon cancer is radical surgery, followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Radical colon cancer surgery, whose resection scope includes the cancer ring and the whole colon mesentery, can itself inhibit the metastasis of the cancer and can completely remove the possible metastatic lymph nodes.
