A 20-year-old boy was diagnosed with cancer after having diarrhea for several days! Many young people have these habits...

Xiao Wang (pseudonym) just turned 20

After graduating from school, he

Just thinking about making money

Sharing the burden of the family with parents

I went to Zhejiang to work a while ago

But when he was working hard

An inspection report

Disrupted the peaceful life

He couldn't believe it.

I am young

I actually got the cancer that people are afraid of...

Go to hospital for checkup due to persistent blood in stool

Results confirmed colon cancer

Some time ago, Xiao Wang had a stomachache for the first time. The pain was mild at the time and went away after a while. He thought he had eaten something bad and didn't take it seriously. The next day, he found blood in the toilet, but the amount was not large. But when he thought that he had hemorrhoids before, he thought it might be bleeding hemorrhoids and he could get better if he endured it, so he still didn't take it seriously.

In this way, Xiao Wang had bloody stools more than ten times and tried some common hemorrhoid medicines, but the symptoms did not improve, but became more and more serious. The blood in the stool made him feel uneasy, so he decided to go to the hospital for a check-up.

When he arrived at the hospital's gastroenterology department, the outpatient doctor asked him about his symptoms in detail and first performed an abdominal CT scan. The CT scan showed that Xiao Wang's " transverse colon wall was significantly swollen, thickened, and narrowed." The doctor recommended that he undergo a colonoscopy to rule out more serious problems.

The results of the colonoscopy shocked Xiao Wang and the doctor - a tumor was found in the colon, and after pathological examination, it was confirmed to be colon cancer . This result was like a bolt from the blue for Xiao Wang, who never thought that he would get cancer at such a young age.

The incidence rate has increased among young people

Bad living habits are the cause

Doctors said that the incidence of colon cancer among young people has increased in recent years, mainly due to unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise, long-term mental stress and other factors. Xiao Wang recalled his lifestyle in the past few years and couldn't help but feel regretful. He often had irregular diets, often ate fast food, and lacked exercise . These bad habits may have eventually become the cause of his illness.

After the outpatient doctor informed Xiao Wang of the follow-up treatment plan in detail, he returned to his hometown for treatment. The tumor has now been successfully removed through surgery and he is in good condition.

Don't ignore these signals

High-risk groups include these

After listening to Xiao Wang’s experience

Many people are not calm anymore

I always feel that colon cancer

It is a disease that may only occur in middle-aged and elderly people.

I never thought that young people are now not far from cancer.

Four early signs of colorectal cancer

Don't ignore it if one appears.

✔Bleeding and diarrhea after defecation, or mucus in the stool .

✔ Unexplained lower abdominal pain or heaviness that lasts for more than 1 to 2 weeks.

✔ Changes in bowel habits, or stools becoming flatter or thinner, or an increase in bowel movement frequency, or constipation, or a feeling of incomplete bowel movements.

✔ Unexplained anemia and weight loss.

The first point is very important! Bleeding and diarrhea after defecation are often the earliest early symptoms of colorectal cancer, and it is also the best time to have a colonoscopy . However, in the past, many patients thought they had hemorrhoids or enteritis and missed the opportunity for early diagnosis and treatment. If you have the above symptoms, please go to the hospital for treatment in time.

These four groups of people

Higher risk of bowel cancer

↓↓↓↓

1. People with long-term constipation

Feces contains many harmful substances. If you are always constipated, the feces will stay in the intestines for a longer time, which can easily lead to colon cancer.

This group of people may wish to eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc. Dietary fiber can promote intestinal peristalsis, dilute intestinal residues, and promote defecation.

2. “Carnivore” people

A long-term high-fat diet can easily increase the burden on the intestines and cause constipation, thereby inducing colon cancer.

3. People with a family history of colorectal cancer

If there is a colon cancer patient among your immediate family members, you should pay attention to regular physical examinations.

4. People who smoke for a long time

The harmful substances in cigarettes not only induce lung cancer, but also increase the risk of adenomatous polyps and colorectal cancer.
