This kind of diarrhea is a sign of cancer

In the eyes of most people, diarrhea is a very common minor problem. However, in the following situations, it is likely to be an alarm signal for certain cancers. You must seek medical attention as soon as possible to receive the correct diagnosis and treatment.

　　 bowel cancer: morning diarrhea or diarrhea, constipation alternate. Changes in bowel habits and stool characteristics are important indicators for the early detection of colorectal cancer. Because the lumps and their secretions stimulate the intestines, people with regular bowel movements can suddenly become frequent or significantly reduced stool frequency, constipation and diarrhea alternately, diarrhea after getting up in the morning, etc., especially accompanied by mucus blood in the stool, pus and blood in the stool, Be vigilant when blood in your stool is bright red or jam-colored, or if you have unexplained anemia, weight loss, or weakness.

　　 Stomach cancer: Diarrhea with nausea and acid reflux. The early manifestations of gastric cancer are often indistinguishable from general gastroenteritis and are easily overlooked by people. If unexplained diarrhea and black stools appear suddenly, accompanied by loss of appetite, weakness, and nausea, burning sensation in the stomach, dull pain, or swelling in the upper abdomen, the possibility of tumors should be considered. Middle-aged people in their 40s, or people with chronic peptic ulcers, should pay more attention and get gastroscopy and other investigations in time.

　　 Liver cancer: Diarrhea with upper abdominal pain. Some data show that about 50% of primary liver cancers have diarrhea before diagnosis, ranging from 2 to 20 times a day, which is caused by the digestion and absorption or secretion disorders caused by the tumor. Therefore, diarrhea is one of the symptoms of liver cancer that cannot be ignored, but it is not specific. Middle-aged and elderly people, especially patients with chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis, who experience discomfort in the upper right of the abdomen, enlarged liver area, and pain and gradually worsen, or loss of appetite and weight loss, should go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive color Doppler ultrasound, liver function, A fetus Protein, and other inspections.

　　 Pancreatic cancer: long-term chronic diarrhea. Because the pancreas is covered by the stomach and the transverse colon, it is difficult to detect by ordinary examinations, and the early diagnosis rate of pancreatic cancer is very low. Due to insufficient pancreatic secretion, some patients with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer will experience diarrhea. Therefore, unexplainable upper abdominal discomfort, repeated diarrhea, steatorrhea, indigestion, low back pain, jaundice caused by non-gallstones, unexplained weight loss, and other symptoms should be paid attention to and go to the hospital for examination in time. Especially high-risk groups with long-term smoking history, or chronic pancreatitis, family history of pancreatic cancer, etc.
