According to mainland media reports, a 15-year-old girl in Nanchang, Jiangxi, is studying in middle school. Since her parents work outside the city, she lives with her grandparents. Recently, she suffered from abdominal pain that made her unable to eat or defecate, so she went to the hospital for medical treatment. After examination, the doctor found that there was obvious intestinal obstruction, and he was diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer, which had metastasized to the abdominal cavity. He said that the treatment period for advanced colorectal cancer was limited and the treatment effect was poor. In the end, the female patient succumbed to the disease and passed away.
Doctors pointed out that in addition to family genetic factors, the disease is also related to the girl’s bad eating habits.
She spends all her breakfast money on spicy hotpot and barbecue. She likes to eat food with strong flavor. This is a very typical reason.
Data show that the prevalence of colorectal cancer has only increased in recent years and is getting younger. Because there are no obvious symptoms in the early stage, screening is very important. Doctors recommend that people over the age of 40 need regular colonoscopy. Balanced nutrition, regular work and rest, and appropriate exercise are all very important to prevent the occurrence of diseases.
4 major symptoms of rectal cancer
Hong Kong surgical specialist Dr. Lau Cheuk-ling said that early-stage colorectal cancer may not have any symptoms. Other common symptoms include blood in the stool or a large amount of mucus secretion, changes in bowel habits, such as loose stools or constipation, and unexplained weight loss.
Taiwan’s hepatobiliary and gastroenterologist Qian Zhenghong also pointed out that generally the early symptoms of colorectal cancer are not obvious, and most patients will have the following symptoms. If these “subjective symptoms” occur, it is necessary to be more vigilant and screen for early treatment:
According to the Hong Kong Hospital Authority, the cause of colorectal cancer is still unknown, but according to statistics, the following categories of people are more likely to develop colorectal cancer:
- Over 50

- Eating high-fat and high-cholesterol foods for a long time without adequate fiber intake
- Overweight (BMI weight index exceeds 25)
- drinking too much
- smoking
- Very little exercise
- As for prevention methods, good eating habits, moderate exercise and appropriate screening examinations can greatly reduce the chance of cancer.
