What to do if you have abdominal distension and ascites in the late stage of liver cancer? Three ways to help?

1. Patients with advanced liver cancer often experience abdominal distension and ascites. At this time, it is recommended that liver cancer patients go to a professional hospital for drainage treatment. Of course, patients can also combine other clinical treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and biological therapy to achieve better treatment results. Patients are reminded that they must drain ascites regularly to make liver cancer patients feel comfortable. Patients with ascites are best to choose a semi-recumbent position to reduce symptoms such as poor breathing and abdominal distension. Do not lie flat, as the lying position will affect the patient's normal breathing and suffocation.

2. Advanced liver cancer generally causes ascites. At this time, the patient will feel abdominal distension and needs to avoid excessive intake of water and high salt. Active drainage treatment is also required to avoid worsening of the disease. Some Chinese medicine can be taken to help the patient recover.

3. Patients with advanced liver cancer will experience pain. Use some painkillers according to the doctor's advice, inject on time, take Chinese medicine, relieve pain, listen to music, and divert attention.

How to perform minimally invasive surgery for liver cancer?

Minimally invasive surgery for liver cancer is a palliative surgery that mainly includes interventional treatment, namely hepatic artery chemoembolization, and various ablation surgeries, including radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation.

Some local minor surgeries are performed by inserting an external catheter or radiofrequency needle into the liver. These surgeries are insignificant to the patient's body as a whole and do not require general anesthesia, so they are very safe. However, these surgeries generally cannot achieve radical effects, so long-term follow-up is required after the operation.

To find out whether the patient has new liver cancer or liver cancer recurrence, once there is a sign of recurrence, treatment should be given again. Vascular interventional treatment, mainly hepatic artery infusion chemoembolization, these minimally invasive surgeries can achieve better treatment effects.
