Is stool like mud colorectal cancer?
VerifiedBuilding bridges to better health.
Colorectal cancer may not be caused by stool mud, which may also be related to dietary factors, intestinal dysfunction, intestinal infection, drug effects, etc.
1. Dietary factors
recent intake of too much indigestible food, high fiber food or food too mixed, may affect stool morphology.
2. Intestinal dysfunction
such as irritable bowel syndrome, can make intestinal motility abnormal, resulting in stool characteristics change.
3. Intestinal infection
bacteria, viruses and other infections can cause intestinal inflammation, resulting in stool abnormalities.
4. Drug effects
Some drugs may affect intestinal function, resulting in changes in stool morphology.
Although colorectal cancer may lead to changes in stool characteristics, it is usually accompanied by other symptoms, such as hematochezia, abdominal pain, abdominal mass, weight loss, bowel habits change, etc. Of course, symptoms alone can not be diagnosed colorectal cancer, but also need to be combined with a variety of examinations, such as enteroscopy, pathological examination, imaging examination, etc.
