Long-term constipation is not rectal cancer

Long-term constipation may be caused by rectal cancer, but it may also be caused by other reasons.

Rectal cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the digestive tract. With the growth of the tumor, it can cause intestinal stenosis or even occlusion, so it will cause long-term constipation. However, unreasonable diet, insufficient exercise, intestinal polyps and other factors may also cause long-term constipation, so this symptom cannot be diagnosed as rectal cancer.

If constipation symptoms persist, it is recommended to clarify the cause through colonoscopy, pathological examination, etc., and conduct standardized treatment.
