This cancer is increasingly making youth victims, research claims, do not ignore these symptoms

Cancer cases are increasing every year in India. The number of deaths due to this disease is also increasing. The biggest problem about cancer is that even today most of its cases are in advanced i.e. last stage. Now it has come to light that the young population is also becoming increasingly vulnerable to cancer.

Cancer cases are increasing rapidly every year across the world. A research by the American Cancer Society has now revealed that even young people are becoming victims of cancer. Colon cancer is increasing among youth. People under 50 years of age are increasingly becoming victims of this cancer. In the last 10 years, the number of colon cancer patients has increased almost 20 times. Wrong eating habits and disturbed lifestyle are the major reasons for the spread of this disease. Research published in Cancer Journal for Clinicians states that fast food is a major reason for the increase in colon cancer. It is a matter of concern that the trend of eating fast food is also continuously increasing.

People are consuming fast food at an early age. Due to which the cases of this cancer are increasing. In the research, data of patients coming to cancer departments of many hospitals has been extracted. It has been revealed that many patients coming to Cancer Opody are below 50 years of age and cases of colon cancer are being reported among them. Most of the patients are such in whom cancer is being detected quite late. The reason is that there is a lot of lack of information about this cancer among the people. In such a situation, it is important for people to have information about colon cancer.

What are the symptoms of colon cancer?

Research has said that most of the patients coming to hospitals were not aware of the symptoms of colon cancer. In such a situation, it is important to be aware about this cancer. Let us know what are the symptoms of colon cancer.

having frequent loose motions

bleeding from stool

Long term constipation problem

always feeling weak

poor digestion

These people are at greater risk

This research by Cancer Journal for Clinicians states that the risk of colon cancer is higher for those who eat a lot of fast food and consume alcohol. In such a situation, these people have been advised to avoid fast food.

What do experts say

Oncologist Dr. Vineet Talwar says that fast food like pizza, burgers etc. is a major reason for the increase in colon cancer. This food contains flour. Which is not easily digested. Due to this people suffer from constipation. Prolonged constipation affects the intestines and after some time the risk of colon cancer increases.

Dr. Vineet says that there is no problem in eating fast food once or twice a month, but if a person is eating it two to three times a week then the risk of colon cancer increases in the future.
