In daily life, functional constipation and intestinal cancer are two often mentioned but easily confused health problems. In order to clarify the relationship between the two, we need to analyse the effects of constipation on the risk of big intestine cancer, the effects of big intestine cancer on constipation, and how the two situations are distinguished and addressed.
1. The definition of functional constipation and cortex cancer refers to chronic constipation in the context of lack of instrumentality and the cause of the disease, usually manifested in changes in faeces, defecation difficulties and reduction in the frequency of defecation. Such constipation is not caused by intestinal abnormalities, metabolic disorders or intestinal irritable syndrome, but is closely related to adverse living habits, mental and psychological factors, etc. For example, under-eating, fine foods, under-ingestion of vegetables and fruits, and low access to drinking water can lead to inadequate intestinal irritation, which can trigger constipation. Cervical cancer, in turn, is one of the most common malignant neoplasms in the country. The main symptoms of intestinal cancer include abdominal swelling, abdominal pain, constipation, deformation of feces like pencils, defecation disorders, and haemorrhagic anaemia.
The effect of functional constipation on the risk of big intestine cancer, although functional constipation does not directly result in large intestine cancer, may increase the incidence of large intestine cancer. In long-term constipation, increased intestinal pressure may oppress the surrounding organizational structure, including large intestines. Such long-term stress effects may cause large-intestinal cell DNA damage, leading to gene mutations and increasing the risk of large-intestinal cancer. In addition, the high incidence of functional constipation is due to poor dietary habits, such as chronic low-fibre, high-protein diets or diets with vitamins, micronutrients, etc., which contribute to the risk of big intestine cancer.
In the process of developing cortical cancer, which affects constipation symptoms, tumours occupy a certain amount of space and oppress the surrounding organs and tissues, leading to the prevention of excreta, which causes or aggravates the symptoms of constipation. As a result, corrosive cancer patients may experience defecation difficulties, defecation changes, which are similar to functional constipation, but are often accompanied by other, more severe manifestations, such as constipation, abdominal pain, anaemia, etc.
IV. How to distinguish functional constipation from intestine cancer
In order to distinguish functional constipation from intestine cancer, we need to focus on the characteristics and duration of the symptoms. Functional constipation is usually a functional problem, and symptoms may persist but are relatively light and not associated with other serious systemic symptoms. On the other hand, intestinal cancer may be associated with persistent abdominal pain, blood and anaemia, which can worsen.
In order to make the diagnosis clear, colonoscopy can be performed to assess the internal condition of the colon, as well as blood tests to screen specific intestines, such as CEA and CA 19-9. These examinations help the doctor to make an accurate assessment of whether the patient is at risk of intestinal cancer.
Treatment and prevention are generally recommended for functional constipation, for example, polyethylene diol (PET) 4000-scatter, lactose oral solution, etc., and for dietary and lifestyle adjustments under medical guidance. Increased dietary fibre intakes, such as more wheat bread, oats, beans, vegetables, fruits, etc., maintain sufficient water intakes, appropriate exercise to promote intestinal creeping and normal defecation habits.
In the case of big intestine cancer, surgical hysterectomy is required, combined with a combination of chemotherapy or leaching. Patients are advised to conduct regular urinal and sub-blood tests and colonoscopy tests to identify and address potential problems at an early stage.
In summary, there is a relationship between functional constipation and cortex cancer, but not a direct causal link. By improving living habits and diets, maintaining regular routines and adequate sleep, and learning to alleviate stress and anxiety, we can effectively reduce the risk of functional constipation and reduce the incidence of cortex cancer. At the same time, regular medical check-ups and screenings are an important means of preventing big intestine cancer.
