The demons of newlyweds may be very close to you

Cancer was diagnosed three days after marriage: August 9th was the Chinese Valentine's Day, but a newly married couple in Jiangning, Nanjing could not be happy. The bride Xiao Zhang was diagnosed with rectal cancer just three days after her wedding banquet. The expensive medical bills made it almost impossible for this small family to sustain themselves.

The groom, Xiao Nie, is from Shandong Province, born in 1980, and works in a company in Jiangning. Two years ago, he met Xiao Zhang, a girl from another place who also came to Jiangning to work, through an introduction. At the end of 2014, the two walked into the marriage hall hand in hand. However, on the way back from the wedding banquet in his hometown, Xiao Zhang suddenly felt unbearable stomach pain. He went for a check-up and found out that he had a malignant colon tumor.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. Later, at the wedding banquet held at the bride's home, the bride was absent and only the groom attended. The surgery was followed by chemotherapy, and Xiao Zhang felt very desperate at one point. Because the surgery and chemotherapy have cost more than 300,000 yuan. This almost wiped out the savings of the two rural families. Although she looks much more optimistic now than before, Xiao Nie told reporters that after a reexamination in July this year, his wife's condition was not optimistic and there was suspicion of metastasis.

The young couple currently rents a small house of less than ten square meters in Nitang Village, Zhongqian Community, Jiangning. Xiao Nie quietly told the reporter that the doctor now recommended that his wife be hospitalized immediately for further treatment, but the cost of one course of treatment would be more than 200,000 yuan. This made him very distressed. What made him feel particularly guilty and regretful was that although they had obtained a marriage certificate and held a wedding banquet, they had no time to take wedding photos because his wife went to the hospital for treatment three days after the wedding.

"I am powerless to reshoot the scenes now. I have to save the money for medical treatment..." When he said this, Xiao Nie's tears flowed down his face unknowingly. Although his wife didn't say it, he knew that taking a set of wedding photos was a wish buried deep in her heart. She didn't tell him because she didn't want to put more pressure on her husband because of her illness. I hope there are kind people who can help them fulfill this wish.

Rectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in my country. With the improvement of people's living standards and changes in living conditions and living habits, its incidence rate has been on the rise and must be taken seriously. So, what are the signs of rectal cancer? How can we prevent it?

What are the early symptoms of rectal cancer?

1. Changes in bowel habits: The most common symptoms are increased frequency of bowel movements, or pseudo-diarrhea with frequent bowel movements but no feces discharged. Sometimes it may be constipation, and sometimes constipation and diarrhea occur alternately, and it may also be accompanied by anal discomfort or a feeling of anal prolapse.

2. Blood in the stool: The amount is generally not much, and it is bright red or slightly dark red. It flows out with the stool or after the stool. Sometimes it is intermittent. Of course, there are also large amounts of blood in the stool, often accompanied by mucus. When the blood in the stool is mild, only the fecal occult blood test is positive. When the blood in the stool is severe, mucus and blood in the stool, mucus and pus and blood in the stool, or pure blood in the stool may be seen.

3. Deformed stool: When the stool characteristics become abnormal, they vary depending on the type of rectal cancer lesions. They can be flat, thin, or concave, frozen, or watery.

4. Tenesmus: When rectal cancer causes frequent bowel movements, it is often accompanied by tenesmus and a feeling of incomplete bowel movements. Sometimes defecation is difficult, and the stool may contain blood, mucus, and a strong foul odor.

5. Abdominal pain and anal pain: Half of the patients with rectal cancer often have intestinal rumbling, abdominal pain, and bloating. Early patients often have intermittent dull pain in the left lower abdomen. In the late stage, there will be persistent pain, which will deepen in paroxysmal patterns. If the tumor is located in the anal canal within 3 cm from the anus, it may manifest as anal pain.

How to actively prevent rectal cancer?

1. Diet adjustment

Diet is one of the important factors that cause rectal cancer, so you must pay more attention to your diet. Try to keep your diet light and easy to digest. Eat more protein-rich, low-fat, multi-vitamin foods to promote metabolism and enhance immunity.

2. Mental conditioning

Long-term exposure to negative emotions such as tension, depression, and anxiety can cause endocrine disorders, affect metabolic functions, lead to a decrease in immunity, and provide convenient conditions for pathogens to invade the body. Therefore, in daily life, we should adjust our emotions appropriately, try to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, and be careful not to be swayed by negative emotions.

3. Enhance medical awareness

Because people do not have regular physical examinations and do not seek medical attention immediately when they feel unwell, chronic gastrointestinal diseases may turn into cancer, which is also one of the important factors for the high incidence of rectal cancer.

Through the above description, I believe everyone has also learned about the early symptoms of rectal cancer. When the above symptoms appear, you must go to the hospital for a physical examination in time, so that you can find the disease in time! You should also pay attention to healthy diet, maintain a good attitude and work and rest habits, so that the disease can stay away from us!
