Is frequent farting an early symptom of rectal cancer?

1. Excessive farts generally refer to increased anal gas. Increased anal gas caused by indigestion is generally not an early symptom of rectal cancer. If accompanied by blood in the stool, it may be an early symptom of rectal cancer.

2. Increased anal gas is generally related to factors such as eating too fast, eating too much food that easily produces gas, and may also be caused by indigestion. If there is indigestion, the gastrointestinal tract's ability to digest and absorb food will decline, causing food to stay in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, and excessive fermentation of food will produce gas, leading to increased anal gas. Indigestion caused by increased anal gas is generally not an early symptom of rectal cancer.

3. If anal gas increases with blood in the stool, it may be an early symptom of rectal cancer. Because rectal cancer cells grow in the rectum, which has curved and narrow locations, if cancer cells grow, it will cause excessive gas accumulation, leading to abnormal gas discharge, which is manifested as increased anal gas discharge. Cancer cells are prone to rupture, usually accompanied by bleeding symptoms. After the symptoms appear, patients should go to a regular hospital for early screening, early detection and early treatment.
