Beware of misunderstandings when diagnosing intestinal tumors

About 2/3 of rectal cancer patients initially think they have dysentery, chronic enteritis or hemorrhoids, which leads to the misdiagnosis of rectal cancer. In fact, it is still possible to distinguish them with a little attention.

Dysentery generally has a history of acute onset, with fever, tenesmus, and stools mainly consisting of pus and blood. Abdominal pain is relieved after defecation and is effectively treated with antibiotics.

Hemorrhoids may occur in people of any age, but patients with rectal tumors are mostly middle-aged or elderly people. The stool of patients with hemorrhoids contains blood, which is caused by scratching the affected area during defecation. Most of the blood drips down with the stool, so it does not mix with the feces, and there is no mucus. The stool of patients with rectal tumors is often mixed with blood, mucus and thick liquid, and the bowel habits will change significantly. The frequency of bowel movements increases, and there is also a feeling of tenesmus. If the diarrhea still cannot be alleviated after taking the medicine, you should pay special attention to it. Don't fall into the diagnostic misunderstanding of intestinal tumors due to negligence and delay treatment.

Blood in the stool of rectal tumors is caused by the ulceration of cancerous tissues. The blood is mostly dirty and has a fishy smell. When the rectal tumor is large, it can narrow the intestinal cavity and make the stool difficult to pass into thin strips with edges and corners, which are not common in dysentery and hemorrhoids.

Although intestinal tumors have similarities with many diseases, there are still differences if you carefully distinguish them. Therefore, you must understand the diagnostic misunderstandings of intestinal tumors and not miss the best time for treatment due to misdiagnosis.
