Is it bowel cancer that keeps farting in a day? Reminder: there are 3 characteristics, it is best to be a colonoscopy

"Fart" in everyone's eyes, is a "sharp weapon" to embarrass you in public places!

A loud, ugly fart will quickly push you to the public and accept all kinds of strange eyes!

However, fart is just a normal physiological performance, everyone will have gas discharged from the intestinal tract every day!

Some of these gases come from the air we swallow when we talk and eat, and some of them are produced when intestinal bacteria decompose food.

They accumulate and swim in the gut, and when they accumulate to a certain degree and the pressure is enough, they will be released. Under normal circumstances, people fart 10-15 times a day, most of them are released in sleep!

Only a few farts will sneak out in life.

There are a lot of popular science and health care articles about colorectal cancer, all of which link "fart more" with colon cancer. However, is there really a scientific basis for this?

In fact, excessive farting is not a sign of bowel cancer. It is affected by many factors.

For example, if you eat a lot of gas producing food in your life, including bean products, root vegetables, white radish, protein rich food, etc., it will increase the number of farts. Some foods can also change the smell of farting, such as fatty food, stimulating food, etc!

In addition, common intestinal diseases can also cause an increase in the number of farts. Including high incidence of irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, virus or bacterial infection in recent years!

It can be seen that the number of times of farting can not be equated with colon cancer. However, if the recent abnormal increase in the number of farts, and accompanied by the following symptoms, we should be alert to the signal from colorectal cancer:

1. Abnormal Stool Shape

The shape of stool can be used to determine whether the intestinal tract is healthy or not. For example, after acute intestinal infection, patients will have diarrhea, watery stool and other symptoms.

When there is abnormal space occupying in the intestinal tract, it will not only reduce the storage space of feces. When the stool passes through, the cancer will directly oppress the feces, resulting in thin strips and flat strips of stool. In the case of too dry stool, the side of stool may also have new blood marks.

2. Rectal Tenesmus

This symptom is one of the most common manifestations of rectal cancer, the more low rectal cancer symptoms, the more obvious.

Patients always have an urgent sense of defecation at ordinary times, feeling that the stool is about to gush out, but the whole process of defecation is not smooth, and sometimes there is no stool discharge. It is also because of this, the patient's stool habits can also change, there are many times a day stool situation.

The reason why there are such symptoms is mainly related to the abnormal space occupying of cancer, the oppression of defecation receptor and anus.

3. Hematochezia

Hematochezia is the most typical symptom in the middle and late stage of colorectal cancer. Almost all patients with colorectal cancer will have varying degrees of bloody stools after reaching the advanced stage.

In bloody stool, stool and blood mixed state, sometimes can not be observed by the naked eye, in the stool routine examination, can find stool occult blood positive.

With the development of the disease, the patient's stool can be observed with naked eyes bright red or dark red blood mixed, late can also appear mucus, pus like bloody stool, or even directly discharge blood!

Of course, symptoms alone can not tell whether it is intestinal cancer. To know that many chronic intestinal diseases can also have the above symptoms, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative enteritis, intestinal polyps, etc.

Therefore, in order to determine whether there is a problem in the intestinal tract, it is necessary to carry out the next step of accurate examination, including colonoscopy, stool routine, anal digital examination, etc.
