Ways to prevent colorectal cancer

We can all relate to the stresses of modern society. Some people are not good at turning stress into motivation, which often has a profound impact on their physical health, such as colorectal cancer. Let’s take a look at some effective ways to prevent rectal cancer.

1. Start with diet: ① Reduce energy intake. ②Reduce fat and red meat intake. ③Increase fruits, vegetables and dietary fiber. ④Vitamins and trace elements. ⑤Dietary anti-carcinogens. Starting with daily diet, it is very important to prevent rectal cancer.

2. Change your lifestyle habits: ① Exercise: Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, and too little physical activity are risk factors for rectal cancer. Losing weight and exercising can help prevent colorectal cancer. ② Quit drinking and smoking

3. Treatment of precancerous lesions: Patients with ulcerative colitis and those with a personal or family history of rectal cancer or adenoma have an increased risk of rectal cancer. Through screening and follow-up, early removal of adenomas and treatment of colitis can reduce the incidence and mortality of rectal cancer. Especially for those with a family history, genetic testing, screening of high-risk groups, and colonoscopy are important aspects of rectal cancer prevention.

4. Actively prevent and treat rectal polyps, anal fistulas, anal fissures, ulcerative colitis and the stimulation of chronic intestinal inflammation; for multiple polyps and papillary polyps, once the diagnosis is clear, early surgical removal should be performed to reduce the chance of canceration.

5. Prevent constipation and keep bowel movements smooth.

6. Attach great importance to regular cancer prevention surveys, pay attention to self-examination at any time, improve vigilance, and seek timely diagnosis and treatment after discovering "warning signals" to achieve early detection and early treatment to improve the survival rate of rectal cancer.

7. Drink more tea. No matter which kind of tea it is, it is a natural plant and contains a variety of antioxidants. Tea can achieve an antioxidant effect that is 20 times stronger than vitamin E. This is because the cell repair stress caused by oxidation is the culprit of human aging and cancer.

8. Take the initiative to quit smoking. It is easy for ordinary people to confuse colon cancer, rectal cancer and hemorrhoids, and there are often cases in the medical community where colon cancer and rectal cancer are misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids. Although most cases of blood in stool are caused by hemorrhoids, colon cancer and rectal cancer may also coexist with hemorrhoids. Their clinical symptoms are quite numerous and are most easily confused and ignored. Therefore, if you undergo regular anal screening, the chance of misdiagnosis will be reduced.

From above we know many effective ways to prevent rectal cancer. We must pay attention to some important details in life. For example, constipation may be a warning of rectal cancer. We must not ignore these small details in life, discover and treat them early. We must cherish our physical health and be good at handling the relationship between stress and a healthy lifestyle.
