Will early liver cancer cause pain? Things to note when caring for liver cancer

Everyone knows that the mortality and incidence rates of liver cancer are very high, and it is difficult to detect in the early stages, so it is very necessary to learn how to diagnose liver cancer.

So how do we judge whether we have liver cancer through symptoms?

1. Pain: Pain is a common phenomenon in liver cancer. It is important to note that liver cancer is relatively mild in the early stages and develops intermittently. The pain is usually caused by the invasion of the liver capsule by tumor necrosis, and usually occurs in the right rib or under the xiphoid process. If the patient feels pain or discomfort, it must be taken seriously.

2. Physical fatigue: Physical fatigue is also one of the symptoms of liver cancer. It is important to note that liver cancer has a great impact on patients. In the early stage of liver cancer, the liver is damaged by the tumor. At this time, the body's nutrition cannot keep up, and the patient's body will show fatigue and often physical fatigue. If the patient has this phenomenon, it must be diagnosed in time and treatment measures must be taken.

3. Lower limb edema: There are many symptoms of liver cancer, and lower limb edema is a common one. Experts point out that patients with ascites generally have certain edema symptoms. Patients with milder conditions often have edema in the ankles, while some patients with more serious conditions will also spread to the entire lower limbs. Patients with lower limb edema must go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to alleviate their condition.

What are the treatments for early-stage liver cancer?

1. Surgery: It is the first choice for patients to treat early-stage liver cancer. If the patient's condition and physical condition permit, early surgical resection is required to control the condition and relieve symptoms. In order to prevent the recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer after surgery, it is necessary to combine radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine to consolidate the therapeutic effect.

2. Chemoradiotherapy: It is also a commonly used treatment method for early liver cancer. Preoperative chemoradiotherapy can shrink the tumor and increase the chance of surgical resection. Postoperative combined chemoradiotherapy can consolidate the therapeutic effect and prevent recurrence and metastasis. For patients with early liver cancer who cannot undergo surgery, chemoradiotherapy can also quickly control the disease and prolong survival. However, the side effects of chemoradiotherapy are very large, and it is necessary to combine traditional Chinese medicine such as Fuzheng Xiaozheng Capsules and Zhelong Pills to play a role in increasing efficacy and reducing toxicity, so as to ensure the smooth progress of liver cancer treatment.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: It can not only be combined with surgery to consolidate the therapeutic effect and prevent recurrence, but also can be combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy to enhance the efficacy and reduce toxicity, and it can also improve the physical fitness and enhance the body's anti-cancer ability, thereby achieving ideal therapeutic effects. At present, some liver cancer patients have achieved the goal of long-term survival with tumors through active combined traditional Chinese medicine treatment, such as Zhelong Pills and Fuzheng Xiaozheng Capsules, which brings new hope to patients. It can be seen that traditional Chinese medicine is the most widely used treatment method for early liver cancer.

Three methods should be paid attention to in the care of liver cancer

Nursing methods for liver cancer 1. Liver cancer patients should relax their body and mind. After all, the shadow brought to cancer patients is very big, so they must face the disease scientifically. In normal times, they can take some appropriate relaxation measures, do some slow abdominal breathing, or go to some places with better air to breathe more often, so that more fresh air can enter the patient's lungs to relieve the pain of the disease.

Nursing methods for liver cancer 2. This disease is very prone to bedsores and is very easy to spread, so patients with the disease should actively keep their skin clean and their beds hygienic. Due to lying down for a long time, some skin may be damaged, so these skins should be sterilized in time.

Nursing methods for liver cancer 3. In the late stage of liver cancer, symptoms of metastasis will occur. As the tumor metastasizes, the patient will gradually develop some systemic symptoms. These symptoms must be discovered and treated in time. In addition, some patients will suffer from intestinal obstruction due to the occurrence of metastasis. For these patients, adverse factors such as abdominal distension should be observed in time.
