What are the symptoms of prostate cancer liver metastasis

In clinical practice, prostate cancer is one of the serious diseases that plague men's health. If the patient discovers the cancer late or the disease is not effectively controlled, liver metastasis is likely to occur. This means that the patient will not only have symptoms of prostate cancer, but also the discomfort caused by liver metastasis. In this case, the patient must understand these symptoms in detail in order to achieve early detection and early treatment.

After a man is diagnosed with prostate cancer, the body will experience various discomfort symptoms due to the compression of the tumor. If the patient's rectum is compressed, symptoms such as intestinal obstruction and difficulty in defecation will occur. If the patient's urethra is compressed, symptoms of dysuria will occur, which can also be manifested as a thin urine stream, a slow urine flow, a feeling of extra effort when urinating, and a feeling of not being able to urinate completely after urinating. In addition, some patients will experience frequent nocturia, urinary incontinence, and urgency. If the patient's vas deferens is compressed, perineal pain and lack of ejaculation will occur.

For patients who have already developed liver metastasis, in addition to the above-mentioned compression symptoms, the liver area will also experience various abnormal symptoms under the influence of the lesions caused by the metastasis of cancer cells. This is mainly because the lesions will continue to grow and cause varying degrees of damage to liver function.

Generally speaking, after the patient has liver metastasis, the first thing that happens is distension or pain in the liver area. In addition, the patient will also experience indigestion, jaundice, poor appetite, general fatigue, weight loss and other discomfort symptoms. If the patient undergoes medical examination at this time, it will be found that the levels of various substances in the body, such as aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase, etc., will be significantly increased and far higher than normal medical indicators.

After understanding the above content, prostate cancer patients can clearly know the symptoms of liver metastasis, so that they can take effective treatment measures immediately after liver metastasis occurs to control the further deterioration of the disease. In addition, many patients begin to give up after liver metastasis occurs. This behavior is not good for the treatment of the disease. Patients must actively adhere to treatment to give themselves more hope.
