How to distinguish stomach cancer from diarrhea in general

The difference between cancer diarrhea and ordinary diarrhea is manifested in the following aspects: 1. The causes are different. Ordinary diarrhea is generally more clear, and it appears after a cold or eating an unclean diet.

Diarrhea in cancer is generally not very clear. Second, there are differences in the characteristics of diarrhea. Diarrhea in cancer generally lasts for a long time, 2-3 weeks or more, and the effect is poor after taking ordinary antidiarrheal drugs.

Ordinary diarrhea has an acute onset and a short duration, 2-3 days, and generally recovers quickly after taking antidiarrheal drugs. 3. There is a difference in the accompanying symptoms. Diarrhea in cancer is often accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever and weight loss, while ordinary diarrhea generally has only local symptoms.

First of all, it is necessary to clarify the concept of disease and symptoms, which are not the same. For example, stomach cancer is a disease, and diarrhea is just a symptom of certain diseases. Therefore, stomach cancer and diarrhea are related to diseases and symptoms (stomach cancer may not both have diarrhea).

The difference between colorectal cancer diarrhea and ordinary diarrhea is that ordinary diarrhea comes in a hurry due to cold or eating unclean food, regardless of time and seasonality, there is no fixed time, and there is no age limit. Colorectal cancer diarrhea is mostly chronic diarrhea, diarrhea for two or three weeks should be noted, stool with blood and mucus, mainly loose may be colorectal cancer diarrhea.

Diarrhea is a common intestinal disease, and after the human body has symptoms different from ordinary diarrhea, it is possible that the body can recover without simple diarrhea**, and colorectal cancer will also have diarrhea symptoms. So we can't take diarrhea lightly, so what is the difference between colorectal cancer diarrhea and ordinary diarrhea?

Common diarrhea is mainly caused by cold or eating unclean food, this kind of diarrhea comes more urgently, usually uncontrollable, this kind of diarrhea is generally seasonal, there is no fixed time, and it is not limited by age. Usually, it will be accompanied by abdominal pain and increased frequency of bowel movements, which can generally be improved by taking antidiarrheal drugs. At this time, you should drink more water, do not cause dehydration, keep your abdomen warm, and eat light food.

Colorectal cancer diarrhea is mostly chronic diarrhea, that is, general diarrhea for two or three weeks to attract attention, there is blood and mucus in the stool, the stool becomes thin, the stool is mainly loose, there may also be palpitations, inexplicable weight loss, fever, vomiting, anemia may be colorectal cancer diarrhea, sometimes abdominal distention, hyperintestinal sounds and paroxysmal colic.

At this time, do not take medicine indiscriminately, but go to the hospital as soon as possible for a check-up to find out whether you have colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer prefers middle-aged people, who socialize more, have irregular diets, and have little activity. In addition, if there is a history of colorectal cancer in the family, then their descendants need to pay special attention to screening, and it is best if there is none.

We should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene in our diet, develop good eating habits, combine meat and vegetables, do not focus on one to eat, eat food not too fine, often eat some vegetables rich in vitamins and crude fiber, of course, we should also exercise appropriately, do not sit for a long time, sitting for a long time is not conducive to the digestion of food, only exercise can accelerate the peristalsis of the intestines, easy to digest food.

It can only be known by real-time inspection and analysis of each diarrhea.

1. Gastric cancer can often have diarrhea symptoms, and diarrhea is one of the common symptoms of gastric cancer.

2. However, every diarrhea in gastric cancer patients is not necessarily caused by "gastric cancer". Some are just stomach cancer that "provides" some convenience for diarrhea; Some are not even related to "stomach cancer" (the common ones are: normal common food poisoning phenomenon......）

Analysis: Hello! There are many causes of diarrhea, and it is not certain that it is caused by advanced stomach cancer. This needs to be checked to find out whether there are germs, that is, a laboratory test is routine, and you can determine what is causing it.

Guidance: Because you don't specifically provide information about the occurrence of diarrhea (what you call diarrhea), it is difficult to determine the cause here.

It is advisable to consult a doctor for a check-up. It can be due to dietary reasons; If there is portal vein thrombosis (which can occur in advanced cancer), it can cause gastrointestinal absorption dysfunction and cause diarrhea, so it needs to be tested to be sure. You can do a color ultrasound examination to see if there is a problem with the liver and portal vein.
