The most obvious sign of colon cancer

There is usually no obvious sign of colorectal cancer. Some common symptoms of colorectal cancer include changes in bowel habits, changes in stool characteristics, abdominal pain, abdominal masses, intestinal obstruction symptoms, etc. If you have any discomfort, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and take appropriate measures under the guidance of a doctor. The details are as follows:

1. Changes in bowel habits: For example, regular bowel movements suddenly become irregular, and constipation and diarrhea occur alternately. After being diagnosed with colorectal cancer, surgery is usually the main treatment in the early stage to remove the tumor and related tissues. After surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other auxiliary treatments may be required.

2. Changes in stool characteristics: Stool becomes thinner, flatter, with grooves, or contains bloody stools or mucus. After a clear diagnosis, surgical resection of the diseased intestinal segment is the main treatment. After surgery, comprehensive treatment is carried out according to the condition, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, etc.

3. Abdominal pain: dull pain, bloating, or even cramps in the abdomen. If colorectal cancer is diagnosed, surgery is the main treatment, and medication is used to relieve pain after surgery, such as analgesics.

4. Abdominal mass: A hard, irregular mass can be felt in the abdomen. Early surgery is required to remove the mass and surrounding tissues, and chemotherapy and other treatments may be needed later.

5. Symptoms of intestinal obstruction: abdominal distension, abdominal pain, cessation of gas and defecation, etc. The obstruction is relieved by surgery, and comprehensive treatment of intestinal cancer is carried out at the same time.

The symptoms of colorectal cancer vary and may not be obvious in the early stages. If the above symptoms occur, especially if they persist or worsen, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner for relevant examinations, such as colonoscopy, pathological biopsy, etc., for early diagnosis and treatment. Early detection and treatment of colorectal cancer are crucial to improving cure and survival rates.
