What are the symptoms of intestinal tumors?

The intestine is the most important systemic tissue organ in the human body because it can absorb nutrients from food and continuously supply energy and nutrients to the human body. However, intestinal tissue can easily become cancerous under some high pressure or stimulation factors, causing intestinal tumor proliferation, etc. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of intestinal tumors.

Intestinal tumors: Benign or malignant tumors that occur in the small and large intestines. Clinical manifestations vary depending on the nature and location of the tumor. Generally speaking, benign tumors may cause no symptoms or very mild symptoms. Some malignant tumors have no obvious symptoms in the early stages, which affects diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Among intestinal tumors, the incidence of small intestinal tumors is lower than that of tumors in the esophagus, stomach, and large intestine.

There may be mild abdominal pain or other discomfort, or intestinal obstruction or diarrhea, or bloody mucus in the stool.

Early

1. Changes in bowel habits (such as increased bowel movement frequency or diarrhea or constipation).

2. The stool contains blood (easily confused with hemorrhoids) or is black.

3. The stool becomes deformed and thinner.

4. Tenesmus (the desire to defecate again after defecation).

5. Intermittent abdominal cramps.

6. Unexplained anemia, weight loss, lack of energy, and decreased appetite.

Mid-term

1. Blood in the stool: Blood in the stool is one of the most common symptoms of rectal tumors. However, other causes of blood in the stool include intestinal bleeding and hemorrhoids can also bleed. Therefore, when blood in the stool occurs, it is necessary to perform an endoscopic examination to confirm the condition.

2. Abnormal bowel movements: There is often pain during defecation, and the stool is often bloody. There is also a feeling of incomplete defecation, tenesmus, etc. The stool often contains mucus, pus and blood.

3. Abdominal pain: Patients with rectal tumors may also experience systemic symptoms, especially abdominal pain, which is often colic.
