How to effectively prevent liver cancer and reveal the early symptoms of liver cancer in men

The main group of liver cancer patients are men. The higher chance of men suffering from this disease is due to alcohol. As the saying goes, "drinking hurts the liver." Alcohol can promote the occurrence of liver cancer. So what are the early symptoms of liver cancer in men? How can men prevent liver cancer?

What are the early symptoms of liver cancer in men?

1. A history of hepatitis and cirrhosis, with stable condition for many years, without chills or fever, but sudden onset of dull or severe pain in the liver and gallbladder areas, which are early symptoms of male liver cancer.

2. Early symptoms of liver cancer in men include dry mouth, irritability, insomnia, bleeding gums and noses, accompanied by upper abdominal distension and discomfort in the liver area.

3. Pain in joints all over the body, especially in the waist and back, accompanied by anorexia, irritability, discomfort in the liver area, and poor response to anti-rheumatic treatment. These are also early symptoms of liver cancer in men.

4. Some early symptoms of liver cancer in men are repeated diarrhea accompanied by indigestion and abdominal distension. The treatment for gastroenteritis is not effective or cannot be cured. There is also dull pain in the liver area and gradual weight loss.

5. The early symptoms of liver cancer in men over 30 years old are that a lump can be felt in the right upper abdomen and upper abdomen. The lump is hard in texture, has an uneven surface, and shows an obvious tendency to increase with continuous observation, but the patient has no obvious discomfort.

6. 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.

Analysis of the reasons why liver cancer favors men:

1. Hepatitis virus

Generally speaking, patients who were infected with hepatitis before the 1970s through blood transfusion and mother-to-child transmission have a concentrated outbreak period around 40-50 years old after years of development and some external factors. Therefore, liver cancer caused by hepatitis accounts for a large proportion of middle-aged men. Among liver cancer patients, patients with a history of hepatitis such as hepatitis B account for about 80%.

2. Not paying attention to regular physical examinations

Liver cancer is one of the easiest cancers to diagnose. Early examinations can detect asymptomatic liver cancer. However, many people think they are in good health and do not need physical examinations, and ignore physical examinations, which are the most effective way to detect early liver cancer. Among liver cancer patients, less than 15% are detected in the early stage. By the time they experience symptoms such as pain in the liver area, loss of appetite, fatigue, and weight loss, the disease is usually in the late stage.

3. Bad living habits

Middle-aged men between 40 and 50 are generally in the middle of the company. They often have many social events, stay up late, drink excessively, and have irregular diets and rest. People in this age group also have a high incidence of alcoholic liver disease and fatty liver disease. According to statistics, the proportion of fatty liver disease patients among men aged 40-50 is as high as 60%. Although many people know that these bad habits are harmful to the liver, they cannot help themselves.

4. Work fatigue and mental stress

In addition to hepatitis, alcoholism, diabetes, overwork, mental stress, and staying up late are also major risk factors for liver cancer. Middle-aged men aged 40 to 50 are generally at the peak of their careers, shouldering the dual burdens of career and family. These people generally suffer from long-term fatigue, mental stress, and bad living habits. Work stress and mental stress can cause low immunity and easily promote the development of cancer cells.

How to effectively prevent liver cancer:

1. Bad emotions crush the body. Modern people are under increasing pressure in life, but in my country there is currently no large team of psychologists to help people relieve this pressure. If the mentality is not adjusted well, it is easy to get sick.

"Emotions, work pressure, and especially a negative mentality have a big impact on the immune system, adding fuel to the fire."

2. Don’t take medicine randomly to prevent viral infection. The incidence of liver cancer in patients with chronic hepatitis is 100 times higher than that of normal people. For ordinary people to prevent liver cancer, they must first prevent infection with hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses. Pay special attention to medication safety. Many drugs may cause liver damage and should not be taken randomly, such as antibiotics, painkillers, contraceptives, hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering drugs, and cold treatment drugs. In addition, many hepatitis B virus infected people take drugs randomly and believe in folk remedies.

3. Pay attention to daily diet and living habits. The younger age of liver cancer is closely related to the increasing number of bad living habits among young people. Many young people are overnourished, obese, do not eat in the morning, overeat at night, and like to sleep in. These are all risk factors. For modern people, simple food is not only a virtue of frugality, but more importantly, it is healthy. But most young people don't think so. Young people eat too luxuriously, drink alcohol and eat meat, and have a curiosity mentality. They eat whatever is fresh, raw seafood, raw fish, and raw meat. However, they don't know that many seafood may contain various hepatitis viruses due to pollution. Once ingested, it may cause acute hepatitis. This is also one of the reasons why the southeastern coastal area of ​​my country is a high-incidence area for liver cancer.
