Which symptoms indicate the occurrence of liver cancer? These symptoms indicate liver cancer disease

Liver cancer is a common disease in life, but most people do not have a deep understanding of this disease. So what are the early symptoms of liver cancer patients? In recent years, the number of liver cancer patients has increased. In fact, as long as this disease is properly treated in the early stage of the disease, the occurrence of the disease can be avoided. The following introduces which symptoms indicate the occurrence of liver cancer for your understanding. Which symptoms indicate the occurrence of liver cancer? The body continues to lose weight. Although there are no clinical manifestations of early liver cancer, the body will continue to lose weight. This is because a malignant tumor has grown in the liver. As the degree of liver cancer deepens, the tumor will become larger and larger, so large that it will cause pressure on the stomach and intestines. In this case, it will cause the digestive function of the stomach and intestines to be disordered, and the absorption of nutrients will be impaired, resulting in the inability of the nutrients in the food to be absorbed by the human body and directly excreted from the body. The human body will also be malnourished. Without nutritional support, the body will definitely continue to lose weight, and even lose weight a bit seriously. At this time, don't be complacent about your weight loss. It's better to go to the hospital for a check-up. Always feel tired. One of the most obvious symptoms of patients with early liver cancer is that they always feel tired. This is because when the human body eats food, the calories of the food will not only be absorbed by the stomach and intestines, but also part of it will be absorbed and stored by the liver to maintain the normal operation of the liver. If the liver is invaded by cancer cells, the function of the liver will be damaged, and the storage function of the liver will also be damaged. Then the body will have no energy support, just like a car without oil, and will often feel tired. Digestive tract symptoms According to incomplete statistics, about 37% of liver disease patients mistakenly think that they have stomach problems in the early stage of the disease and delay diagnosis and treatment. Loss of appetite and upper abdominal fullness after meals. Warm breath, indigestion, nausea, etc. are common digestive tract symptoms of liver cancer, among which loss of appetite and abdominal distension are the most common. Diarrhea is also a common digestive tract symptom of liver cancer. It has been reported both at home and abroad. The incidence is high and it is easy to be mistaken for chronic enteritis. Portal hypertension and intestinal dysfunction caused by portal vein or hepatic vein cancer thrombus can cause abdominal distension and increased bowel movements. Abdominal distension can also be caused by ascites. Gastrointestinal dysfunction can also lead to symptoms such as indigestion, flatulence, and nausea. Bleeding tendency Patients with liver cancer often have bleeding gums, subcutaneous ecchymoses, and other bleeding tendencies, which are mainly caused by impaired liver function and abnormal coagulation function. It is particularly common in patients with liver cancer and cirrhosis. Gastrointestinal bleeding is relatively common, mainly due to portal hypertension leading to esophageal varices. In fact, gastrointestinal bleeding is also the main cause of death in patients with liver cancer. Lower limb edema Patients with liver cancer and ascites often have lower limb edema, which occurs in the ankles in mild cases and can spread to the entire lower limbs in severe cases. Clinically, some patients have severe edema in the lower limbs, and water can seep from the thigh skin. The main cause of lower limb edema is that ascites compresses the lower limb veins or cancer thrombus blocks the venous return. Mild edema can also be caused by low plasma albumin. Weight loss and fatigue Patients with liver cancer often feel more fatigued than other tumor patients, which is similar to patients with chronic hepatitis. The cause of fatigue is unknown. It may be due to digestive disorders, nutritional absorption disorders leading to insufficient energy, or liver cell damage, decreased liver function, metabolic disorders, certain toxins cannot be inactivated in time, or toxic substances are released due to liver cancer tissue necrosis. Weight loss is also a common symptom of liver cancer patients, which is due to liver damage. It is caused by decreased digestion and absorption function. As the disease progresses, the degree of weight loss may worsen, and cachexia may occur in severe cases. What are the methods for preventing and treating liver cancer? Don't drink a lot of alcohol. In fact, alcohol is the biggest enemy of the liver. Many people drink a lot because they have a good alcohol tolerance. When drinking, the stomach and intestines absorb alcohol, and the liver is responsible for absorbing alcohol and breaking down the alcohol. If you drink a lot, it will increase the burden on the liver, and liver diseases such as cirrhosis and alcoholic liver will occur. Severe cases will lead to liver cancer. It can be said that most liver cancer patients are caused by frequent drinking. Therefore, the most important point to protect the liver is to drink less or even not drink. Appropriate relaxation In fact, a major factor that induces cancer is busy work, because busy work will bring great mental pressure to people. If these pressures are not released, they will make people in a state of nervousness in the long run, which will affect their own resistance and decrease. This will promote the growth of cancer cells in the body. Many studies have shown that low mood is an important predisposing factor for cancer. Eat more fruits. The dietary fiber and vitamins rich in fruits are very beneficial to human health. On the one hand, they can help the human body digest better, and on the other hand, they can help the body detoxify. Therefore, eating fruits frequently can promote the body's detoxification and excrete waste impurities from the body, so as to reduce the burden on the liver and achieve the purpose of protecting the liver. Regular exercise can be said to have many benefits. As the saying goes, life lies in exercise, so a long life cannot be separated from the support of exercise. Regular exercise can increase the body's metabolic rate. The increase in metabolic rate can not only accelerate the blood circulation of the whole body, but also speed up the excretion of impurities from the body. The whole body's qi and blood are unobstructed, and the toxins in the body are reduced, and the liver will become healthy. However, don't exercise too intensely. Excessive exercise will aggravate the consumption of glycogen in the body, which is not good for the liver.
