HEMORRHOIDS OR BOWEL CANCER?
One of the common health problems of hemorrhoids, the most prominent feature of the breech is bleeding. “This symptom can also sometimes be a sign of colon cancer,” doctor said.
Colon (colon) cancer and hemorrhoids are completely separate diseases. Colon cancer ranks 3rd among the most common cancers in women and men. Colon cancer is a serious disease, and early diagnosis changes the entire course of the disease. For this reason, it is recommended to perform a colonoscopy at regular intervals after 45 years. Hemorrhoids (hemorrhoids) are also common in our society, said Turkish general surgery specialist Prof. Dr. noted the symptoms of the disease common to colon cancer as follows.
.
CAUSES PAIN
Hemorrhoids are pillows located inside and outside the breech, consisting of vascular balls and connective tissue. Conditions that cause pushing, such as chronic constipation, cause hemorrhoidal disease. Half of individuals over the age of 50 have complaints about hemorrhoidal disease. It does not show signs other than bleeding at an early stage. In later stages, they gradually droop and can cause pain. In hemorrhoidal disease and colon cancer, bleeding from the breech and blood from the stool are seen. Both have a feeling of not being able to fully empty their intestines. Colon cancer has no obvious signs at an early stage. Therefore, screening is important. It gives symptoms after the disease progresses. Changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain and bloating, nausea, vomiting, unexplained weight loss, stool taking the shape of a pencil by examining, and breech pain can be seen.
.
WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS?
Small protrusions from the wall of the colon to the lumen are called polyps. Colonoscopic scans after the age of 50 occur in about half of adults, and most of them are also harmless. But more than 90 percent of colon cancers develop from polyps. The presence of adenomatous polyps, a history of cancer, genetic abnormalities, cancer in the family, inflammatory bowel disease that persists for many years, a stationary and sedentary life, a lot of red meat consumption and a poor fiber diet are the main risk factors.
In hemorrhoids, constipation or diarrhea, straining, sitting in the toilet for a long time, pregnancy, aging, obesity, sitting and familial predisposition, fiber-poor nutrition increase the risk of disease. Apart from these, it can also be seen in some pathological conditions. Colorectal cancer, portal hypertension, spinal injuries can also be seen after rectal surgery. Studies show that in patients, there is an average of fourteen weeks between the onset of complaints and decisiveness.
.
COLONOSCOPY MAY BE REQUIRED
At the same time, hemorrhoidal disease can also occur in rectal cancers. For this reason, rectal cancer can be overlooked if the patient who comes due to rectal bleeding also has hemorrhoidal disease. Most often, the diagnosis of hemorrhoidal disease is made during the examination of the patient. If there is an abnormal mass in the hand during the examination, further examinations are performed. For this reason, the patient with rectal bleeding should be evaluated well. A rectal examination should be performed and evaluated by rectoscopy or sigmoidoscopy and, if necessary, colonoscopy. Rectal examination is very important in diseases of the Anal region. Since the most common feature of all of them is bleeding from the breech, treatment should not be passed without examination. Because diseases like cancer can be overlooked.
