Causes of Ascites in Lung Cancer

Lung cancer ascites is a common symptom of mid-stage lung cancer, which is prone to recurrence and gradually worsens. Lung cancer ascites brings great pain to patients and reduces the quality of life, so treatment is urgent. If you want to cure it, you must understand why lung cancer causes water to accumulate in the abdominal cavity? So why does water accumulate in the abdominal cavity?

In fact, the cause of ascites is the battle between white blood cells and bacteria. The more they fight, the more edematous the gastrointestinal lesions will be. After edema, the stomach and intestines will be blocked, which will prevent the gas from coming out, so people will fart. When there is more and more water in your stomach and intestines, your heart will also accumulate water. When the heart accumulates more and more water, the heart's pumping ability will decrease. If the heart's pumping power decreases seriously, the water in the body will overflow, and finally lead to heart failure and death.

So there are actually two reasons for the death of lung cancer patients: one is that the heart cannot beat due to complete accumulation of water; the other is that the heart tissue itself is unable to beat due to accumulation of water. The reason for the abdominal effusion is that the white blood cells and bacteria are fighting. There are also two reasons for the white blood cells to fight: one is that when your body's qi and blood recover, the body has the ability to deal with bacteria. At this time, the human body is conscious and purposeful to deal with bacteria and viruses. At this time, even if there is accumulated water and garbage, the human body has the ability to clear it; the second is that when the qi and blood are insufficient, the human body has no ability to fight bacteria and viruses. The human body and bacteria and viruses are in peace or can only repair the damage to bacteria. However, if the person's emotions are unstable at this time, and there are situations such as anger, irritation, depression, etc., the body's endocrine system will be unbalanced, the body's white blood cells will increase, and the increased white blood cells will fight against the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, so that the gastrointestinal lesions are prone to water accumulation. The more intense the struggle, the more water will accumulate, which will block the qi of the gastrointestinal tract, aggravate the accumulation of water and affect the pericardium and heart. The more water accumulates in the pericardium and heart, the weaker the heart's pumping power, and the harder it is for the water in the stomach and intestines to move. Therefore, only by squeezing out the water in the pericardium can the heart's pumping power be improved. The spleen's water transporting ability can be strengthened. This is also the reason why squeezing the pericardium can remove water.
