What should I do if I can’t urinate in the advanced stage of liver cancer?

Whether urination is smooth in advanced liver cancer is usually related to ureteral pressure, urination nerve disorders, drug side effects and other reasons. It is necessary to eliminate the cause first and then perform surgical treatment if necessary.

1. Ureteral pressure:

Whether urination is smooth in advanced liver cancer is related to the growth of the tumor and the compression of the ureter. Local radiotherapy can reduce the tumor and the compression of the ureter, and a stent can be implanted in the ureter if necessary.

2. Urinary nerve disorder:

When the tumor metastasizes to the bones, it can easily cause neurological dysfunction, resulting in the inability to excrete urine. Local radiotherapy can promote tumor shrinkage, and catheterization can be performed if necessary.

3. Side effects of drugs: Side effects of drugs:

Long-term liver cancer chemotherapy or long-term oral targeted drugs may affect normal urination and cause urine to be unable to be discharged. You can use other drugs or stop using them according to the doctor's advice.

When patients with advanced liver cancer cannot urinate, they should also make some adjustments in their emotions and avoid anxiety and tension, otherwise the symptoms will be aggravated. If they still cannot urinate normally, they should undergo surgery if necessary and follow the doctor's advice.
