By consistently practicing 'this habit' in the bathroom... What are the symptoms of pancreatic cancer and colon cancer?

I came across an article like this before and urination.

I have developed a habit of paying close attention.

Thinking of it as a way to protect health, even if it's dirty

I need to take a close look.

I think it would be helpful for you to understand how important it is to observe your excretions in the bathroom.

✔️Signs of illness in the body... You can tell by looking at stool and urine

If the color of stool suddenly turns white or gray, pancreatic cancer should be suspected. Urine may appear dark brown or red, and the skin and sclera of the eyes may turn yellow. All of these are symptoms of jaundice, which occurs in pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and gallbladder cancer (according to the National Cancer Information Center). Patients often notice abnormal urine color and complain of it before realizing they have jaundice. It also causes skin itching. This symptom appears when pancreatic or liver cancer has progressed quite far. It is important to consult a doctor promptly and undergo detailed examinations.

✔️Blood in urine?... Signs of kidney, bladder, or prostate issues

When hematuria appears, it often causes surprise and a gut feeling that something is wrong. If blood is mixed in the urine, it is most likely due to urinary tract infections or urinary stones. If there is severe pain as well, it is often due to stones. However, it can also be a symptom of kidney cancer, bladder cancer, or prostate cancer. If hematuria is observed along with flank pain, it is highly likely to be advanced kidney cancer.

Blood on the stool... Do not attempt to diagnose yourself

When blood in the stool appears, there are cases where it is hastily diagnosed as hemorrhoids (piles). The same applies to blood on toilet paper after constipation. However, if there are changes in stool such as sticky mucus, thinner stool than before, or other alterations, it could be a symptom of colon cancer. Changes in bowel habits, such as suddenly having difficulty defecating or a change in the frequency of bowel movements, should be observed. Symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, or a feeling of incomplete evacuation after bowel movements are also important. Do not rely solely on superficial knowledge for self-diagnosis; it is safer to consult with a hospital gastroenterologist specializing in colon health.

✔️ Feeling nauseous and went to the bathroom... Suspecting cancer?

The common symptoms of cancer include loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. These occur as cancer cells steal nutrients from the body. If you frequently visit the bathroom but do not have digestive issues or indigestion, you should suspect cancer. Especially if accompanied by weight loss and fatigue, the likelihood of cancer is high. When symptoms appear, cancer is often already quite advanced. Cancer can progress to stage 3 without noticeable symptoms. People with a family history should pay close attention to their health and undergo regular check-ups.
