Hangzhou couple suffering from bowel cancer
It is also worth mentioning that “marital cancer”is also increasing today.
Previously, a Hangzhou man (Mr. Huang) accompanied his wife who was suffering from colon cancer in the hospital, with a “just in case” mood, He also went for a checkup, and it turned out that his condition was worse than that of his wife, and the colon cancer had reached the point where surgical resection was required…
Mr. Huang had lingering fears. : “It’s a blessing in disguise, if it wasn’t for my wife’s illness, I wouldn’t go to the checkup at all, and further delay, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
In just half a month, Mr. Huang and his wife were both diagnosed with bowel cancer , In this regard, the doctor who received the consultation was also quite emotional: “Now there are more and more ‘marital cancers’, especially in recent years. ”
Cancer is not contagious
Bad habits are contagious
“Why do we both get caught? “Couples who suffer from cancer often have such doubts in their hearts, can cancer be contagious?
The so-called husband and wife cancer is not a cancer,” said the doctor. Refers to the transmission of cancer between husbands and wives.IntestinalCancer itself is not contagious, and it is often the unhealthy who give cancer an opportunity
Clinically, it is often found that if one spouse has bowel cancer, the other spouse has a greater chance of bowel cancer This is because the living habits of husband and wife are often very close after years of running-in, and one party’s bad habits that may cause cancer will easily affect the other party subtly.
After detailed inquiries, the doctor believes that Mr. Huang and their “marital cancer”has a lot to do with their eating habits.It is understood that Mr. Huang and his wife are both heavy tastes and usually like to eat cured meat, sauce duck, salted fish, etc.Usually, there are only two people in the family, and the food is relatively simple. Basically, we cook one meal a day, and the dishes are cooked at noon, and the rest are eaten hot at night. Unfinished dishes are also reluctant to throw away, and continue to serve the next day. Pickled food, in particular, is not easy to spoil, and is often served for several days in a row.

And like overnight meals, high-calorie and high-sugar foods, and processed meat foods are all high-risk factors for gastric cancer and bowel cancer.
< p>A colonoscopy over the age of 40 is best
“ My wife had a colonoscopy only when she had symptoms. I didn’t have any symptoms, and I didn’t feel any discomfort. How could I get colon cancer? “After the operation, Mr. Huang, who was lying on the hospital bed, was puzzled.
In this regard, the doctor said that during the consultation process, Patients often come to the outpatient clinic when they feel uncomfortable. Once the cancer is detected in this group, most of them have developed to the middle and late stages.
Doctors recommend a screening colonoscopy before age 40 even if you don’t have symptoms.This is because bowel cancer is different from other cancers , “asymptomatic” its invisibility cloak, it is easy to ignore diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, most bowel cancers evolve from intestinal adenomas, which grow extremely slowly. It takes about 10-15 years from polyps to bowel cancer. Therefore, if you can Putting the inspection work in advance and doing a colonoscopy before the cancer changes, as long as the early detection and early treatment can be done, it can be prevented before it happens.
< span>So, after the age of 40, it is best to do a colonoscopy screening, no matter whether you have symptoms or not. If you have a family history of bowel cancer, it is recommended to check the time earlier.
