What to do if liver cancer recurs and the patient has abdominal distension

The body of the patient is very weak after liver cancer surgery, and surgery is only a local treatment and cannot completely eliminate the cancer, so attention should still be paid to the treatment of complications after surgery. So, what should we do about abdominal distension after liver cancer surgery? Let's take a look at this issue together, and I hope the following introduction will be helpful to everyone.

1. Diet adjustment
1. Provide reasonable and correct dietary guidance: Liver cancer patients should eat dry and liquid food separately. They can eat liquid food half an hour to one hour after lunch. If necessary, they can lie down for 20-30 minutes after the meal to prevent or alleviate the abdominal distension symptoms of liver cancer. In addition, liver cancer patients are required to eat small meals frequently to avoid excessive gastrointestinal accumulation and indigestion. Liver cancer patients should mainly eat low-carbohydrate, high-protein, and moderate-fat foods in their daily diet, and avoid foods that are too sweet or too cold.
2. Eat mild foods: Liver cancer patients should choose foods that are easily digestible, low in sugar, high in protein, and contain an appropriate amount of fat. In life, they should insist on eating small and frequent meals, eat more mild foods, and reasonably match foods to ensure their own nutritional balance. Avoid irritating, allergic, hyperosmotic, and sexual foods, as well as overly cold or overheated foods that produce gas, such as ice cream, sweet milk, soy milk, fried foods, and hot and sour foods.
2. Drug conditioning: In addition to paying attention to dietary care, if abdominal distension and diarrhea occur after liver cancer surgery, you can also insist on taking some medicines to nourish the spleen and stomach to help restore the body's transportation and transformation functions and complete the normal process of food reception, transportation, absorption, and excretion.
The above is an introduction to what to do if abdominal distension occurs after liver cancer surgery. After liver cancer surgery, it is necessary to take good care of the patient to reduce the occurrence of complications. If abdominal distension occurs, the patient does not need to worry too much, maintain an optimistic attitude, and receive timely treatment and conditioning.
