Do you encounter any of these situations when you usually squat in a pit?
“It takes an hour to go to the toilet every time, and I always feel like I’m not finishing it.”
“No constipation It can be pulled clean and fast, but it also takes a lot of paper towel and can’t always be wiped clean.”
“I found that the stool is very thin, some of which are like pig intestines. , I still feel like I have bowel movements after pulling, is there something wrong with the bowel?”
There is always a feeling of “unable to pull and wipe clean” in the stool, and it seems that there is still a With a trace of unfinished thought… What the hell is going on?
1. The stool is always “unclean and unclean”, why?
A healthy person usually has a bowel movement of about 100-300 grams, which is roughly the weight of two bananas.
In a healthy state, the color is generally yellow, the shape is smooth like a banana or toothpaste, not agglomerated, and the density is preferably half-submerged and half-floating on the water. .
A normal stool looks like this:
That stool is very sticky, and it feels like it can’t be drained and wiped clean. What does it imply?
Improper diet
Food that is too stimulating, such as being too spicy, or drinking too much If the drink is too cold, it will cause congestion and edema in the “Chrysanthemum” area, which makes people feel comfortable.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
may be affected by food or disease, bowel movements If it is too fast, it will cause diarrhea or abdominal pain, and it will show symptoms of urgency or inexhaustible defecation.
Hemorrhoids
The hemorrhoids are close to the chrysanthemum, because of their weight, the chrysanthemum will have The feeling of falling, and after going to the toilet, it is often not wiped clean, giving the illusion of unfinished defecation.
constipation
< p>Constipation does not mean no bowel movement, and persistent difficulty in defecation, infrequent defecation, or a sense of incomplete defecation, all of which are constipation.
Rectal prolapse
is a condition in which the rectum moves down and out of the anus. In the early stage, a lump protrudes from the anus during defecation and retracts on its own after defecation. When it develops to a certain stage, there will be a feeling of falling due to relaxation of the anal sphincter.
Second, when bowel cancer comes, the stool may have these 4 characteristics
The feeling of having a bowel movement is also a manifestation of bowel cancer, but this symptom can also appear in other diseases of the digestive tract. How to judge whether it is caused by bowel cancer?
Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignant tumor, 70% of which occur in the rectum. Compared with other tumors, colorectal cancer has a better prognosis because it is easier to detect and treat early , patients generally 5-year survival can be as high as 90%.
Intestinal cancer is a relatively slow-growing cancer. The earliest “identity” is an inconspicuous adenomatous polyp.After 5— It took 15 years of evolution to develop bowel cancer. If it is removed before it becomes cancerous, it can avoid the deterioration. It can be seen that early screening and early treatment are the keys to preventing bowel cancer.
In fact, when bowel cancer comes, the stool will send out “warning signals”, especially when these signs appear in the stool, it is time to be more vigilant:
1. Stool mixed with blood and mucus
Intestinal tumors are accompanied by some inflammation, which can stimulate the intestinal tract and excrete mucus , If there is blood in the mucus, it is very likely that the tumor ruptures and bleeds, and the mucus is brought out through the feces. At this time, you must be vigilant.
2. Unformed stool< /p>
When the tumor exists in the intestinal tract, and the unformed stool passes through the tumor area, the tumor will be regarded as a foreign body, which will accelerate the intestinal reaction and stimulate its peristalsis, resulting in the stool that has not had time to concentrate. is excreted.
3. Changes in bowel habits
Everyone has fixed bowel habits, some Some people have diarrhea once a day, and some people once every two or three days. However, diarrhea or constipation has occurred frequently for a long time recently, and the defecation pattern is completely different from the past. Therefore, we should be alert to intestinal tumors.
4. Bloody stools
causedThere are many reasons for bloody stools, such as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, etc. However, blood in the stool caused by colon cancer is generally painless, dark red in color, and accompanied by mucus or pus.
If the above symptoms occur in the stool, accompanied by abdominal pain, abdominal mass, anemia, low fever, weight loss for no reason, the relevant checks should be performed immediately.
3. How strong is colonoscopy? It may protect you from colon cancer for 5 years
Professor Li Zhaoshen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, once pointed out, “Doing a colonoscopy can keep you safe for five or ten years, and you won’t get rectal cancer.” . How important is it to have a good colonoscopy?
After analyzing the data of more than 600 residents in the United States, the Stanford University team found that: 45-49 years old after undergoing colonoscopy, the Rectal cancer risk can be reduced by 50%. Especially for these high-risk groups, more attention should be paid to colonoscopy:
①First-degree relatives with a history of colorectal cancer;
< span>②I have a history of cancer (history of any malignant tumor);
③I have a history of intestinal polyps;
④Have two or more of the following at the same time.
Wang Xishan, Director of Colorectal Surgery, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences pointed out that 80% of colorectal cancer can be prevented, mainly remember the “six-character policy” – keep your mouth shut and open your legs.
- Reduce energy intake
- Reduce red meat intake
- Increase fiber diet
- Encourage everyone to stretch their legs
- Exercise helps to lose weight
< li>Reduce fat intake
In addition to lifestyle intervention, attention should also be paid to tumor screening. It is recommended that people over 40 years old The crowd, must have a colonoscopy, if there is a problem, insist on regular review, do not wait until it develops into cancer before regretting it.
