How to care for liver cancer patients

Liver cancer is one of the most common diseases in recent years. We need to do daily care in advance for liver cancer. It is very important to do a good job of liver cancer care, which can reduce the incidence of liver cancer and reduce the harm of liver cancer. Today let us understand what to pay attention to in daily care of liver cancer, I hope it will be helpful to you.

One of the daily care precautions for liver cancer is proper exercise:

Liver cancer patients who can return to work should do so as much as possible (it must be light physical labor). This is because patients are idle at home all day and will always think of themselves as patients, which increases their mental burden and is not conducive to recovery. Appropriate exercise and returning to work with co-workers can help them let go of their mental burden to a certain extent, which is beneficial to their health.

Daily care for liver cancer: 2. Maintain a good attitude:

Patients should keep a relatively calm state of mind in their daily lives and actively cooperate with doctors in their treatment. As the saying goes, "anger hurts the liver," so liver cancer patients should avoid excessive emotional fluctuations in their daily lives. Suffering from primary liver cancer does not mean that you cannot do anything. You can do what you can according to your actual situation. You can do some light housework or some light sports activities such as walking, practicing Tai Chi, practicing Qigong, etc., but you should not feel tired as a principle, and you must avoid heavy labor and intense sports activities. Because emotional excitement, heavy physical labor and intense activities may induce hemorrhage in the plica of liver cancer nodules and endanger life. You should know that hemorrhage in the plica of liver cancer nodules is one of the most common causes of death in liver cancer patients.

Daily care for liver cancer: 3. Eat a light diet:

Because most liver cancer patients have impaired liver function, their diet should be light and easy to digest. They should not eat too much high-protein and high-fat food, because high-protein and high-fat diet will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, and may even induce hepatic encephalopathy (the liver's detoxification ability decreases, excessive protein decomposition produces a large amount of ammonia that accumulates in the blood, enters the brain and causes patients to have mental symptoms or even coma and death). In addition, spicy, irritating and rough foods should also be avoided, because patients with primary liver cancer are prone to portal vein cancer thrombosis, causing portal hypertension, esophageal and gastric fundus varicose veins. Once the diet is improper, it may cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients, which is life-threatening.

In summary, we have a better understanding of liver cancer care. Once we find any discomfort, we need to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible, and take active measures for treatment, so as to avoid missing the best treatment time for the disease, achieve recovery as soon as possible, and reduce the harm caused by the disease. I hope that this article on liver cancer care will be useful for you to have a deeper understanding of liver cancer.
