Dr. Alexander Prikachekov, a gastroenterologist, announced that low hemoglobin and difficult-to-treat hemorrhoids may be symptoms of cancer.

The doctor points out that cancer in its early stages does not cause pain, in addition to that the disease can appear at any age.

According to him, a person suffering from hemorrhoids that cannot be treated, using suppositories and the appearance of blood, should urgently undergo a colonoscopy. Because endoscopy allows seeing even flat formations that do not protrude above the surface of the intestine. Early detection of the tumor allows for treatment of the disease and survival for 5 years.

The doctor points out that colon cancer develops slowly and internally. Some patients feel embarrassed to undergo a colonoscopy, but they are forced to undergo this examination when a severe intestinal obstruction occurs, and then even surgery cannot be performed to save their lives. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an annual medical examination, especially if there are cases of colon cancer in the family.

Since the factors that trigger colon cancer are physical inactivity, lack of dietary fiber in the diet, and excessive consumption of red meat, especially processed meat (sausages, fast food), the person must move a lot and at least walk, and adhere to the principles of proper nutrition.< /p>
