Treatment Of Colon Cancer
Colon Cancer Treatment:
Effectiveness of the treatment of colon cancer is governed by how early it is detected/ diagnosed. There are various ways of treating colon cancer and researchers are always looking for newer and better ways of treating colon cancer. However, as of now, surgical procedures are one of the prime treatments for colon cancer.
As told before the colon is an essential part of the digestive track. Aside from aiding in the digestion of food, it also eliminates waste products. However, with several tempting foods in the market, it's so easy to go out of the healthy diet. Poor diet will result in constipation and other gastrointestinal problems. When the colon is clogged up with accumulated feces, it fails to carry its function properly.
Colon hydrotherapy is similar to enema. Enema is a treatment that helps to clean the colon. Their only difference is that colon hydrotherapy is much more extensive. Whereas enema only cleanses the lower portion, colon hydrotherapy aims to clean the entire colon, which is roughly five feet in length.
Enema has been around for several centuries already. However, complete cleansing of the colon has gained prominence only in the late 19th century. This started with the popularity of the idea of auto intoxication. It has been suggested that the body could poison itself by the release of toxins from accumulated fecal matter in the colon into the blood stream.
For general health checks, getting a colon hydrotherapy once a year should be enough. However, pregnant women in their third trimester should not undergo this treatment. Colon hydrotherapy is also not recommended for those with severe hemorrhoids, abdominal hernia, heart disease, amoebic dysentery, and diverticulitis among other health problems. You would have to discuss your present medical condition first with your colon therapist to make sure there would be no complications.

Colon Cancer Symptoms
Symptoms of Colon Cancer :
1. Irregular bowel movements: If there is colon cancer one can have less or more bowel movements. You can even experience constipation more often. This is because the tumor in your colon is already obstructing the regular flow of your bowel.
2. Stomach Cramps- We can feel stomach cramps and sometimes even bloating due to bowel obstruction. As the tumor grows bigger, it could actually be perforating the bowel wall causing pain and discomfort.
3. Bloody Stool- Bleeding in the bowel can be noticed.Sometimes the blood will be present in a very small amount and cannot be noticed. But there are also cases, where the stool is really bloody. A fecal occult blood testcan confirm presence of blood in your stool.
4. Unexplained weight loss- Weight loss is one of the classic sign of cancer. If you are losing weight even if you are not trying, you should ask your doctor.
5. Fatigue- Another colon cancer symptom to look out for is unexplained tiredness. Some experts link this symptom to anemia or iron deficiency. To be sure, you should have your blood checked.
6. Nausea and vomiting- You might feel nauseous and even vomit for no apparent reason because of the tumor in your colon area.
7. Gassy- Obstruction of the colon by a tumor causes air to be trapped.
