What are the prevention methods for rectal cancer

Nowadays, more and more people are suffering from colorectal cancer. What measures should we take? How can we prevent the occurrence of colorectal cancer? In addition to paying attention to daily eating habits, we should also pay attention to our lifestyle. The following editor will talk about several key points in detail, mainly to prevent colorectal cancer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Eat a little more bitter

We have all heard the saying, "Colorectal cancer is cancer caused by eating", which makes a lot of sense. In the past, we were used to living a hard life. After our lives got better, we wanted to eat meat and fish every day. Some people even feel like they haven't eaten anything if they don't have meat. "I have a relative who has pork elbows and trotters for almost every meal. If you eat too much high-oil and high-fat food and don't exercise, your intestines will become 'lazy', the peristalsis will slow down, and toxic substances will accumulate in the intestines for a longer time, and various diseases will occur over time. Therefore, as a clinical doctor in this field, I require my family to cook mainly light vegetarian dishes, with at most one meat dish. This can not only prevent colorectal cancer, but also prevent many chronic diseases."

A little poison on the eyes

Because most tumors do not release toxins and are not easy to detect early, the "poison" here is actually a reminder for everyone to be good at using their eyes to find clues of cancer, especially "to be good at finding abnormalities in the stool", such as blood in the stool. From a clinical point of view, 80% of colorectal cancer patients have blood in the stool; changes in bowel habits, sudden increase or decrease in regular bowel movements, diarrhea, unclean stools, etc.; changes in characteristics, stools become flat, thin or irregular, etc. are all early warning signs.

Be more diligent in checking

The "diligent" here does not mean that everyone should get checked whenever they have nothing to do, but that they should not be lazy in certain checks. For example, there is a finger check during physical examinations. Patients feel uncomfortable or embarrassed, and doctors sometimes find it troublesome. In addition, this examination must be performed in a private place, so many people choose to give up. "In the screening of colorectal cancer, there are two tests that must be done. One is the fecal occult blood test. If the result is positive, you must be careful; the other is the blood tumor marker test. We often use CEA and CA19-9. One-third of people can detect cancer early through these two tests."
