Xiaojun is in his early 20s, and his usual bowel habits are to poop once every two or three days, and a few months ago, he found outI had blood in my stool, and a little constipated, I thought it was caused by fire or hemorrhoids, so I didn't pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, some time passed,The blood in the stool has not improved, and other abnormal symptoms such as weight loss have appeared。 Xiaojun hurried to the hospital for examination,Severe anemia was found, and doctors initially judged it to be caused by gastrointestinal bleeding。 Upon further examination, it was found that Xiao JunI actually got gut cancer。 OriginallyXiaojun has always been fat, and likes to eat meat, eat barbecue, eat supper, drink, and drink drink。 In the long run, it causes serious damage to the intestines and eventually induces colon cancer.

Doctor reminds,Colon cancer is associated with poor eating habits and lifestyles. If you find abnormal symptoms such as blood in the stool, constipation and diarrhea, abdominal pain, and increased farting, you should pay attention to it and seek medical attention in time。

1. Which is colorectal cancer?

Colorectal cancer is associated with changes in bowel habits, and some people may worry about whether the frequency of bowel movements is also related to bowel cancer. After all, some people poop three times a day, and some people poop once every three days.

In fact，The frequency of bowel movements is mainly related to age, diet, medication, disease and other factors。 There is no standard answer to how many times a day it is normal to have a bowel movement. OneThree bowel movements a day and one bowel movement every three days do not mean that there is something wrong with the body.Generally speaking, it is normal to have at least 3 bowel movements in a week.

In addition to paying attention to the number of stools,More attention should be paid to the abnormality of the stool, especially blood in the stool, is easy to ignore.Blood in the stool is one of the typical symptoms of colorectal cancer, mainly manifested as blood or mucus on the surface of the stool, and in severe cases, pus and bloody stool will appear.

Some colorectal cancer patients will be accompanied by itSymptoms such as tenesmus, anal pain, and difficulty in defecation。 There are also colorectal cancer patients who pass stool and then discharge droplet-shaped blood.

Also, ifIt is also important to note that increased stool frequency, alternating diarrhea and constipation, unformed stool, feeling of incomplete discharge, fatigue, weight loss, etc., may be related to colorectal cancer。

The age of high incidence of colorectal cancer is 50-0 years oldTherefore, when you reach a certain age, you should have regular physical examinations and detect abnormalities as soon as possible. If you have symptoms that are suspected of colorectal cancer, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to find out the cause and not let go of any clues.

2. The gold standard for colorectal cancer screening

According to the recommendation of the "Expert Consensus on Early Diagnosis and Screening Strategies for Colorectal Tumors in China", the general population aged 74-0 years should be screened for colorectal cancer. presentlyRectal cancer screening includes two main modalities: colonoscopy and digital anal examination。 Among them, colonoscopy is the gold standard for screening rectal cancer.

ColonoscopyIt can be used to check for intestinal lesions，Intestinal polyps can also be excised directlyto prevent intestinal polyps from developing into bowel cancer.

Digital anal examination is also very useful, not only for early detection of tumors, polyps, ulcers, tumors, etc., but also for the detection of tumors under the intestinal mucosa such as carcinoid tumors and gastrointestinal stromal tumors, as well as diseases other than the rectum.

ButA digital anal examination alone is not always enough to diagnose a tumor, and colonoscopy is required。 Because early hemorrhoids are also soft clumps to the touch, if the internal hemorrhoids do not come out, it is difficult to determine whether it is a tumor or not. In addition, if the internal hemorrhoids form a hemorrhoidal nucleus, the texture is relatively hard, and it is easy to confuse.

ThreeMen drinkyoghurtYesReduces the risk of bowel cancer, really?

So, what can be done to reduce the risk of bowel cancer? Studies have said that drinking yogurt can reduce the risk of bowel cancer in men, is it true?

In 2019, a study published in Gut stated,Men who eat two or more servings of yogurt per week can reduce the risk of abnormal growth of colon polyps and play a role in preventing colorectal cancer.

研究人員對9萬多人進行了長達26年的隨訪，結果發現：每周食用2次或2次以上優酪乳的男性，與不食用任何優酪乳的男性相比，發生結直腸腺瘤的風險降低了19%。另外，把食用酸奶當成飲食習慣的男性，與不食用優酪乳的男性相比，發生結直腸腺瘤的風險甚至降低了26%。但是，在女性中暫未發現食用酸奶與結直腸腺瘤風險降低有顯著的關聯。

Fourth, in addition to yogurt, experts recommend doing a good job of 4 points to prevent bowel cancer

Of course, in addition to eating yogurt, there are many ways to prevent bowel cancer.

1. Exercise

The study found thatPeople who are active can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by 20%.。 Activities include walking, running, climbing stairs, etc., in short, don't be sedentary and move your muscles and bones, no matter what form you take.

Why does moving prevent colorectal cancer? Because exercise not only burns calories, reduces body fat, and prevents obesity, but also reduces insulin resistance and inflammation.

In addition, exercise can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, speed up metabolism, reduce the time of intestinal contact with carcinogens, and reduce the chance of cancer. thereforeIt is recommended to exercise for 5-0 minutes a day and at least 0 days a week.

2. Eat coarse grain

The study found thatConsuming 17g of whole grains per day can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by 0%.。 Whole grains are rich in dietary fiber, which can form butyrate in the intestine on the one hand, which plays an anti-inflammatory role, and on the other hand, it can promote bowel movement and reduce the time for feces to remain in the intestine.

In addition, whole grains also contain substances with anti-cancer activity such as vitamin E, selenium, plant hormones, and phenolic compounds, which can effectively prevent cancer.

3. Eat less processed meat

Processed meats such as ham, fragrant belly, and bacon should be eaten less.Studies have found that a daily intake of 16g of processed meat increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 0%.。 Processed meat contains high amounts of fat and nitrite, which are potential carcinogens.

Moreover, most of the processed meats are made with red meat,The heme contained in red meat has been shown to be associated with the development of colorectal cancer。 Therefore, not only processed meat, but also red meat should not be eaten more,It is recommended to control the intake of red meat to about 500g a week.

4. Maintain your weight

Keep your mouth shut, keep your legs open, maintain a reasonable body weight, and avoid overweight and obesity.The study found that for every 5 increase in BMI, the risk of colorectal cancer increased by 0%.

Because the higher the body fat, the higher the insulin level, which produces insulin resistance, causing metabolic damage. In addition, the higher the body fat, the greater the chance of developing an inflammatory response and the higher the risk of cancer.

The early symptoms of bowel cancer are not obvious and can be easily confused with other diseases, so it is important to pay attention to the disease signals and learn to distinguish them. When there is an abnormality, seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition and missing the best time for treatment.
