As one of the digestive tissues in the human body, the intestine is mainly responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients in food, and then excreting waste toxins from the body.
Under normal circumstances, after the intestinal problem, the patient will not have a particularly obvious feeling, but as the disease continues to worsen, the body will light up these 3 "red lights", after encountering this problem, we must seek medical examination and treatment in time to avoid malignant diseases such as rectal cancer.
What happens to the body after a bowel problem?
1. Frequent blood in the stool
Blood in the stool is a very serious disease, simply put, when defecating with blood or a small amount of bleeding, after encountering this problem must cause a high degree of vigilance, because it is very likely to be related to intestinal diseases.
In most cases, blood in the stool may be closely related to rectal cancer, because the cancer cells continue to invade the intestine, and the cancer cells themselves continue to proliferate and expand, then it is easy to cause the blood in the stool to become more and more serious.
In most cases, once you have rectal cancer, the color of the stool is easily dark red or jam color, because the blood and feces are mixed, and the bleeding point is close to the inside of the intestine, which will cause bleeding problems.
2. The law of bowel movement has changed significantly
Under normal circumstances, people with relatively healthy bodies have a regular number and time of bowel movements every day, but once the intestine is diseased, it will continue to invade with tumor cells, which in turn will lead to irregular bowel movements and changes in the characteristics of stool.
Simply put, the stool is not formed, or it is more difficult to defecate, in addition to most patients, most patients will also have a lack of bowel movements, or the persistence of stool intentions.
3. Abdominal pain
When rectal cancer develops to the middle and advanced stages, then you should be wary of the dangers of persistent pain in the abdomen.
Because the intestine is located in the abdomen, when the lesion occurs, it is easy to cause pain in the abdomen, which should cause a high degree of vigilance.
Especially after the spread of cancer cells, there will also be metastasis pain metastasis, which must be paid attention to by patients.
What manifestations other than rectal cancer indicate a problem with the intestine?
1. Severe constipation
Constipation is one of the more common symptoms of the disease, if the intestinal dysfunction will lead to a sharp decrease in beneficial bacteria in the intestine, in this case it will lead to slower intestinal peristalsis, then the feces in the intestine will stay in the intestine for too long, in this case there will be constipation problems.
The reason is that the intestines will suck the water out of the feces, and once the problem of constipation occurs, it should be actively treated.
2. Long-term diarrhea
When the intestine lesions can easily lead to diarrhea problems, in general, once the symptoms of diarrhea appear, the vast majority of people will appear 2 to 3 times a day thin stool, but also the intestine will not be digested things out of the body, in this case to consider and intestinal microflora disorders are related, if this problem persists, it may be closely related to rectal cancer.
The above introduced the intestinal problems after the body of the 3 performance, I hope that the majority of patients must cause a high degree of vigilance, because the early symptoms of rectal cancer is not particularly obvious, so it is easy to be ignored and delay the best treatment time.
So once the intestine lights up these 3 "red lights", then it may be related to rectal cancer, so be sure to seek medical treatment in time.
