Man sat and strained to poop for 30 minutes, thought it was just “hemorrhoids”, initially refused to come to the hospital, but the pain became unbearable, the doctor shook his head after the examination.
Mr. Lai, 69 years old, had a problem with hemorrhoids for a long time. Every time he went to the bathroom, the hemorrhoids would swell up. In addition to the pain in the affected area, he also found blood in the toilet bowl. However, he felt worried when he had to see a doctor. So he chose to ignore it until the symptoms became more and more severe. Finally, he could not stand it anymore and went to the hospital. It was found that from the colonoscopy, a tumor was found in the colon. The biopsy results confirmed that it was rectal cancer.
Dr. Wang Kaisheng, a colorectal surgeon at Chang’an Hospital. Said that when examining the patient, Mr. Lai had visible hemorrhoids in his rectum and upon questioning. It was discovered that he spent 30 minutes defecating each day. The doctor recommended a colonoscopy first. However, Mr. Lai did not understand at first why he needed a colonoscopy when he only wanted to treat his hemorrhoids. After the doctor explained it in detail, he agreed to the examination.
The colonoscopy results shocked Mr Lai, who found a large tumor in his rectum, about 10-15 centimeters from his anus, and confirmed that he had rectal cancer. Dr Wang said that the สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน reason Mr Lai felt like he couldn’t empty his bowels and had to strain hard was because of the tumor, and that straining hard for a long time also made his hemorrhoids worse.
Doctors have developed a new treatment plan, starting with rectal cancer surgery and then hemorrhoid surgery. Mr Lai has now had both surgeries successfully and is undergoing follow-up chemotherapy. He said with gratitude, “Fortunately, I took the doctor’s advice, otherwise the symptoms would have been much worse.”
Dr. Wang emphasized that normal hemorrhoids, even if there is bleeding, usually get better within 1-2 weeks. If there is bleeding for more than 2 weeks, feeling like you have not completely passed a bowel movement, or taking a long time to pass a bowel movement, you should be more careful.
Finally, the doctor suggested that there is now a painless colonoscopy that can be done while you are asleep and can also take a biopsy for examination in one go.
