What should I do if I have swollen back legs in the case of rectal cancer?

First of all, liver function should be checked, because patients with rectal cancer will have problems with digestion and absorption, poor nutritional status, and may have hypoproteinemia that causes fluid leakage and edema of both lower limbs.

Rectal cancer refers to cancer between the dentate line and the rectosigmoid junction and is one of the most common malignancies of the digestive tract. The symptoms of rectal cancer mainly include: abdominal pain, abdominal distention, irregular bowel movements, blood in the stool, progressive weight loss, etc., if the above symptoms appear, patients should seek medical attention as soon as possible to rule out the factors of rectal cancer.

In addition, the clinical distinction between hemorrhoids and rectal cancer should be done. Rectal cancer is a kind of comprehensive, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc., including anterior abdominal resection, transabdominal perineal resection, etc., surgical methods include conventional laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, generally according to the patient's tumor stage, grade, invasion range, size and anal distance and other factors to choose different surgical methods.

There are many causes of rectal cancer, such as social environment, lifestyle (especially eating habits, lack of physical activity), genetics, complications caused by other diseases, etc. But the main thing is caused by daily eating habits. Diets high in animal protein, high in fat, and low in fiber are often considered to be high rates of colorectal cancer.

Eating more fat, bile secretion, bile acid decomposition products, and intestinal anaerobic enzyme activity also increase, resulting in an increase in the formation of intestinal carcinogens and pro-carcinogens, which can easily cause colorectal cancer.

The second most important type of rectal cancer is chemotherapy, which is divided into chemotherapy before surgery, assisted chemotherapy after surgery, and palliative chemotherapy. Chemotherapy before surgery is mainly to shrink the tumor; The effect of assisted chemotherapy after surgery is to destroy the remaining tumor cells, thereby reducing the quality of the tumor and increasing the survival time of the patient; Palliative chemotherapy is mainly for tumors that migrate generally. The third method is radiotherapy, which is a more reasonable way to manipulate tumors, and radiotherapy is also divided into preoperative radiotherapy and postoperative radiotherapy.

The primary goal of preoperative radiotherapy is to reduce and downstage the tumor, facilitate surgical removal, and improve the chance of anus preservation; Postoperative radiotherapy is suitable for lymph nodes and tumor margins that are not cleaned up after surgery, and then carry out filler radiotherapy after surgery, which can effectively reduce the tumor. In daily life, we should pay attention to eating less carcinogenic ingredients, so that the patient can prevent cancer, when the patient is found to have digestive diseases, it is necessary to ** as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause disease. Some women often take some ** products, which can also affect the stomach and intestines, which may lead to cancer.

Patients also need to check on time and pay attention to their daily diet.

You will feel very uncomfortable in your life, your bowel habits will also change, you will become very irregular, there will be some blood, and your lower abdomen will often hurt. It is not easy to detect with the naked eye, and sometimes a lot of blood appears during bowel movements.

The symptoms of rectal cancer are decreased appetite, digestive disorders, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms, as well as blood in the stool.

It may manifest as irregular stools, increased frequency, blood, foreign bodies like nasal discharge, and if it is severe, it can cause difficulty in defecation and irregular bowel movements.

Swelling of the legs is more common in hypoproteinemia, renal edema, anemia, etc.

Hypoproteinemia can be caused by hepatic insufficiency, or it can be caused by malnutrition or excessive protein loss.

Renal edema is usually caused by renal insufficiency, insufficient water removal from the body, and hypoproteinemia may also occur due to excessive protein excretion from the urine.

Anemia can be caused by many causes, such as bleeding, kidney disease, malnutrition, and many others.

From the situation you described, liver and kidney metastases cannot be ruled out, and there may be the following causes: 1. Anemia caused by blood in the stool. 2. There are many viscous secretions during defecation, and the viscous secretions often contain a certain amount of protein, and excessive protein loss can cause hypoproteinemia.

Whether it is anemia, hypoproteinemia or hemorrhoids, it is not complicated, anemia transfuses a few bloods, hypoproteinemia transfusions plasma or human blood albumin only.

For a disease like rectal cancer, it is really unrealistic to pursue a cure now, but if the patient is in good spirits, it is still very meaningful to alleviate the patient's discomfort and improve the life**, isn't it?

Some suggestions hope to help the elderly: eat more vegetables and fruits, it is better to eat less or no meat, only eat a little salt for breakfast in the day, the elderly sit with their legs higher, you juniors have time to massage the legs of the elderly from the bottom up, the effect is very good.

Seriously conservative is recommended**.
