Many people are afraid to do colonoscopy, but doctors suggest doing it before the age of 45. Why is colonoscopy so important?

Many people are afraid to do colonoscopy, but doctors suggest doing it before the age of 45. Colonoscopy is so important because:

1, because many people who do colonoscopy don't know enough about colonoscopy, they are particularly afraid of him. In fact, the pain brought by colonoscopy is a fear that people can bear, but it comes from their own inner fear. In fact, only one out of 65,438+people may have perforation, as low as 10. In fact, everything has risks, but whether the risks are within the controllable range. That's because doing such an examination can protect you from intestinal cancer for 5 years.

2, colorectal cancer, it has a feature, that is, it is particularly hidden, and there are no symptoms at all in the early stage. So you should find his symptoms when you check. Moreover, its growth is particularly slow, and it takes about 15 years from polyp to intestinal cancer. Therefore, the period after the age of 45 is the main period of cancer lesions. Early detection and regular inspection can make us healthier.

The following are the conditions for immediate colonoscopy.

1, constipation bleeding. Colorectal cancer lesions are relatively deep and tumors are relatively small. His initial symptoms are not so easy to find, but it can be seen that there is occult blood in the stool as a symptom. When bloody stool and anal fissure occur at the same time, it is more difficult to diagnose. At this time, it is necessary to carefully identify and not misdiagnose. When the colorectal tumor is relatively ulcerated, it is easy to be infected, and the number of diarrhea will increase obviously. Every time I defecate, I just excrete some blood. You should pay attention to going to the hospital in time at this time.

2. Diarrhea or constipation appear alternately. Some patients' symptoms are an increase in the number of diarrhea every day, and defecation or deficiency in the anus. But also accompanied by mild pain, sometimes light, sometimes heavy. In the early stage of colorectal cancer, there is pain in the right abdomen. Therefore, when defecation is difficult or accompanied by abdominal distension and abdominal pain, you should also seek medical advice in time.
