Is stool thinning colon cancer?

Stool thinning may be caused by hemorrhoids, anal fissure, anal canal or rectal inflammation, intestinal tumor, intestinal stenosis, anal or anal canal disease, etc., not necessarily bowel cancer. People at high risk should be screened regularly for bowel cancer. Stool thinning may not be bowel cancer, but may also be caused by other reasons. The following are possible causes: hemorrhoids: internal hemorrhoids or mixed hemorrhoids can occur. Anal fissure: Small ulcer formed after anal skin laceration, which can cause anal stenosis and thin stool. Inflammation of anal canal or rectum, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, etc., can lead to intestinal stenosis and thin stool. Intestinal tumor, such as rectal cancer and colon cancer, can lead to intestinal stenosis and thin stool. Intestinal stenosis: Such as intestinal tuberculosis, intestinal adhesions, etc., can lead to intestinal stenosis, causing stool thinning. Anal or anal canal diseases: such as anal stenosis, anal inflammation, etc., can lead to poor stool discharge, causing stool thinning. It should be noted that stool thinning is an atypical symptom that may be caused by a variety of reasons. If stool becomes thin, especially accompanied by other symptoms, such as abdominal pain, abdominal distension, constipation, diarrhea, hematochezia, etc., seek medical attention in time and carry out relevant examinations, such as stool occult blood test, colonoscopy, etc., to clarify the cause and take corresponding treatment measures.
