Is diarrhea colon cancer?

Purulent stool cannot be directly diagnosed as intestinal cancer, because purulent stool can only represent inflammation in the intestinal tract or general enteritis, proctitis or idiopathic chronic intestinal inflammation, such as ulcerative proctitis, ulcerative colitis, etc. The general manifestation of intestinal cancer is not purulent change, but black stool or bloody stool, accompanied by increased stool frequency. If colon cancer or cancer in the ascending colon, it may be manifested as black stool. If rectal cancer patients, there may be blood in the stool, red blood stool or dark red blood stool, distributed on the surface of the stool. At the same time, accompanied by increased frequency of stool, such as 5-6 times or 7-8 times a day, it is possible. Therefore, pus can not be diagnosed as intestinal cancer, but if there are symptoms of pus stool, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, even if it is intestinal inflammation, it needs active treatment.
