What are the early symptoms of liver cancer? People with these symptoms should be careful of liver cancer

The liver is a very important organ in the body and plays an important role in maintaining the normal functioning of the body. It can help break down some substances that enter the body, thereby transporting some toxic substances out of the body. However, many people do not take good care of their livers, which gradually increases the amount of toxins they eat into their bodies, causing the burden on the liver to increase and causing lesions, which eventually leads to the appearance of liver cancer. When liver cancer occurs, there will be some typical symptoms. If you find yourself experiencing these typical symptoms, be careful.

What are the early symptoms of liver cancer?

1. Fever

In the early stage of liver cancer, many patients will have fever. This is mainly because the tumor tissue will be affected and necrosis will occur. When necrosis occurs, some heat sources will be released and will enter the body with blood, causing the body temperature to rise. Most patients' body temperature will remain at around 38 degrees, and some will be above 39 degrees. When fever occurs, most people confuse it with ordinary fever, so they cannot find it in time. Therefore, you should be vigilant when persistent fever occurs and ordinary treatment does not work.

2. Pain in the liver area

Pain in the liver area is also a typical manifestation of liver cancer. If you find yourself experiencing persistent pain in the liver area for no apparent reason, especially if you have suffered from cirrhosis or other liver diseases, you should pay attention to the persistent pain. Most of the pain occurs in the lower right abdomen.

3. Digestive tract symptoms

Liver cancer can also cause patients to experience varying degrees of digestive tract symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc. This is mainly due to the secretions produced after the tumor occurs. Many people will mistakenly think that they have a digestive tract disease after digestive tract symptoms occur, so it is easy to confuse and delay the condition. If you find that you have digestive tract symptoms and no abnormalities are found after relevant examinations, you should have a liver examination.

In addition, when liver cancer occurs, in addition to the three typical symptoms mentioned above, there will be some other symptoms. Gu Jinlian, chief physician of the Department of Geriatric Gastroenterology at Guangzhou First People's Hospital, once said in an interview that liver cancer will have some related early symptoms after it occurs, such as weight loss and fatigue, and some more common physical signs, such as jaundice and murmurs in the blood vessels in the liver area. When these symptoms occur, you should also be alert to timely liver examinations.

In general, liver cancer and other diseases will cause some related symptoms, so you should be aware of these symptoms in normal times, especially for patients with poor liver function and some liver diseases. Knowing these symptoms will help you make timely judgments and timely treatment when liver cancer occurs, and prevent liver cancer from occurring without your knowledge, allowing the disease to continue to develop into the late stage, and finally threatening your life.
