Chen Weiyou, Director of Tianshen Colorectal Surgery Clinic, said that the sticky stool may be caused by insufficient fiber intake or stress affecting digestion, and has nothing to do with colorectal cancer; however, if the stool is bloody, thin, mucus or even foul Symptoms such as changes, severe abdominal cramps before defecation, desire to defecate but feel unclean, etc., it is recommended to seek medical examination as soon as possible.

In addition, modern people generally live under a lot of stress. Under the influence of excessive anxiety, stress and other emotions, the intestinal tract will affect the central nervous system of the brain through the vagus nerve, triggering a series of reactions to cope with stress. At this time, the body will inhibit the digestive function of the intestines, making it difficult to truly absorb the nutrients of food. Other intestinal diseases such as abdominal pain and sticky stool may also occur.

Eat more fiber and drink water to reduce high fat and refined starch

So what is the relationship between stool sticky toilet and colorectal cancer? Chen Weiyou said that there is currently no literature showing that stool sticking to the toilet is related to colorectal cancer. However, it should be noted that if the stool contains mucus and blood streaks and is accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, etc., it is necessary to pay attention to the possibility that the intestinal tract may have been chronically inflamed or have mucosal ulcers. At this time, it is necessary to seek medical examination as soon as possible to avoid subsequent serious intestinal diseases such as mucosal bleeding and intestinal perforation.

Chen Weiyou further said that if the stool is only slightly stuck to the toilet, it can be easily removed by flushing a few times or using a brush, as long as you take in more fiber, drink water, and reduce the consumption of high-fat and refined starch, the stool can return to normal Shape, improve digestion and absorption function.

Pay attention to bloody stools and changes in bowel habits

Chen Weiyou reminded that although stool with sticky toilet is not necessarily a sign of colorectal cancer, stool is the best indicator to reflect the health of intestinal tract. It is recommended that everyone develop a good habit of observing stool before flushing. If you observe the following types of stool, or If there are any of the following situations in the defecation process, you should pay attention to the possibility of serious intestinal diseases or colorectal cancer. It is recommended to go to the colorectal surgery department for examination as soon as possible.

●Stool pattern:The stool is bloody, the stool is getting thinner (as thick as a pen), there is a lot of mucus in the stool, and even a foul smell.

●Defecation process:Changes in bowel habits, severe abdominal cramping before defecation, desire to defecate but feeling unclean.

Finally, Chen Weiyou appealed that intestinal diseases and colorectal cancer are common diseases among Chinese people. With the advancement of medicine, as long as it is detected early, there is a high chance of being cured. I hope everyone will pay more attention to their stool pattern and defecation process, make adjustments or treatment as soon as possible, and take good care of the stomach.
