¿Cáncer Colorrectal? ¡Qué No Le De Vergüenza!

Es en el mes de marzo donde más enfatizamos la prevención del cáncer colorrectal para crear conciencia en el público en general pero específicamente en las personas de 45 años o más. Este cáncer afecta a hombres y mujeres por igual. Hay mucha gente en la comunidad que piensa que este cáncer afecta solo a hombres pero no es cierto. Nuestro sistema digestivo es igual para ambos sexos.

¿Qué podemos hacer para prevenir este cáncer?
La manera más fácil de reducir el riesgo es una alimentación baja en grasas animales, y una dieta rica en frutas, vegetales, y granos integrales. Hombres y mujeres también deben hacerse una colonoscopia a partir de los 45 años a menos que tenga síntomas. Les informare más adelante sobre los síntomas. La colonoscopia puede encontrar pólipos (crecimientos dentro del intestino o recto) pre -cancerosos los cuales el medico extirpa (saca) durante la colonoscopia previniendo que estos se conviertan en cáncer. Debo recalcar que usted estará sedado (dormido)y no se dará cuenta de nada relacionado con este examen/prueba.

¿Cuáles son los síntomas?
• Cambios en los hábitos de ir al baño
• Sangre en la excreta
• Diarrea, estreñimiento o sensación de que el intestino no se vacía por completo
• Dolores abdominales que no desaparecen
• Pérdida de peso sin estar a dieta
• Excreta más estrecha de lo que es normal para usted
• Fatiga constante
• Náusea y vómitos

Consulte a su médico si tiene alguno de estos síntomas. Recuerde que hay otras condiciones las cuales pueden causar síntomas similares PERO solo su médico le puede decir con seguridad.

¿Qué pruebas/exámenes hay? Hay distintas pruebas que el medico puede recomendar:
• FIT, es una prueba que busca sangre oculta en la excreta. Esta prueba son unas lamillas las cuales usted lleva a casa y envía al laboratorio después de obtener una muestra de su excreta. Este examen se hace cada año.
• Sigmoidoscopia flexible (cada 5 años). Este examen solo examina la parte baja del intestino y el recto.
• Colonoscopia - Esta prueba/examen examina todo el intestino y recto. Si no hay pólipos, el médico le recomendara que vuelva hacérsela en 10 años. Si hay pólipos entonces el médico le dirá cuando deberá volvérsela hacer (cada 3 a 5 años). Este examen se hace estando sedado. No se dará cuenta y no sentirá dolor.

¿Y los tratamientos cuáles son?
Hay varios tratamientos pero todo dependerá del resultado de los exámenes. Puede ser:
• Radiación
• Quimioterapia
• Cirugía
• Una combinación de estos
• Estudios clínicos

Hable con su médico. ¡HAGASE UNA COLONOSCOPIA! HAGAMOS DE MARZO UNO PARA CREAR CONCIENZA SOBRE EL CÁNCER COLORECTAL Y SALVAR VIDAS. ¡RECUERDE QUE NO LE DE VERGÜENZA!
