What are the symptoms of liver cancer 2 months before death? Four nursing measures should be taken in the late stage of liver cancer

Liver cancer is one of the malignant tumors with greater side effects. Since the early stage of the disease is highly hidden, most patients are already in the advanced stage when they discover it. In the advanced stage, liver cancer will become more serious, and will cause severe nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding, inability to eat and other symptoms, and this symptom is often more troublesome than cancer pain. But even at this stage, we cannot give up. On the contrary, we must have a deeper understanding of these symptoms, actively deal with them and work hard to cooperate with treatment, so that we can have a better quality of life in the rest of our lives.

1. Dull pain in the liver area

Liver tissue will be destroyed and invaded by tumors for a long time, resulting in compression and destruction of adjacent nerve roots, ischemic necrosis of local tissues, obstruction of blood flow, and invasion of bones and periosteum, all of which can cause severe pain of liver cancer. Therefore, the pain will be aggravated in the late stage of liver cancer. In addition, the system of liver cancer patients is extremely weak, so this is also a symptom before death from liver cancer.

2. Shortness of breath

Symptoms before death from liver cancer may also include difficulty breathing. Severe breathing difficulties can easily lead to fear, and fear itself aggravates breathing difficulties. If not properly handled, it can easily lead to shock and death.

3. Mental Disorder

In the late stage of liver cancer, mental disorders may occur, which will cause great pain to the patient himself or his relatives.

4. Bleeding tendency

Gastrointestinal bleeding is common in the late stage of liver cancer and is also a symptom before death from liver cancer. It is mainly caused by esophageal varices caused by portal vein hypertension. Gum bleeding, subcutaneous ecchymosis and other bleeding tendencies are common in liver cancer combined with cirrhosis. They are mainly caused by abnormal liver function and coagulation abnormalities. Therefore, liver cancer patients should pay attention to internal bleeding.

5. Hepatic encephalopathy

Hepatic encephalopathy is the main manifestation of liver cancer in the terminal stage and the main cause of death from liver cancer. Generally, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, infection, hypokalemia, surgery, improper extraction of liver ascites and the use of a large number of diuretics and drugs that damage the liver are common causes of hepatic encephalopathy. At present, only the cause can be prevented, and there is a lack of effective treatment. Hepatic encephalopathy is usually a symptom before death from liver cancer.

When liver cancer patients have the above symptoms, they need to pay special attention, actively accept the doctor's treatment, and maintain a positive attitude. At this time, the care of family members or doctors is also particularly important.

1. Basic medical care

As liver cancer patients reach the terminal stage, they will have decreased immunity, poor physical fitness, and long-term bed rest will easily lead to bedsores and other diseases.

We want to ensure that:

Blood pressure improvement nursing foundation. Nursing foundation focuses on creating a clean, quiet and comfortable nursing environment; taking good care of bedsores, preventing the occurrence of bedsores and reducing the chance of infection;

When blood is intravenously injected or nutrients are given, the veins should be selected from far to near, from thin to thick, and from difficult to easy, to avoid the inability to intravenously inject nutrients due to the patient's body consumption in the middle and late stages.

2. Pay attention to the combination of diet

Blood pressure should pay attention to the color, aroma and taste of food to promote the patient's appetite. Give a non-irritating and easy-to-digest diet, the temperature should be appropriate, the meal speed should be slow, and you can take some Chinese herbal medicine porridge, such as astragalus porridge, red date porridge, codonopsis pilosula, etc., which can strengthen the spleen and nourish blood.

Do not lie down for 30 minutes after a meal. Avoid eating greasy or fried foods. Those who vomit can be given antiemetics, and total intravenous nutrition can be given when necessary. When blood ammonia is high, limit or avoid protein. Pyrogens are mainly glycogen, so fruits, vegetables, etc. can be used.

3. Pay attention to psychological care

Patients with advanced liver cancer generally experience anxiety, restlessness, fear, pessimism, and depression. Doctors and their relatives should stabilize the patient's mood and carefully carry out communication work.

In addition, we should understand the patient and adopt different methods to comfort and persuade the patient according to the patient's acceptance ability. Carefully explain to the patient the significance, methods, methods and common problems of various treatments, and communicate with the patient more. The role of relatives is very important. Patients with advanced liver cancer generally hope to receive the attention, love and care of their relatives. Therefore, relatives should communicate with patients more, pay attention to, encourage and comfort patients.

4. Avoid taking medicines that may damage the liver

Nowadays, some patients will seek medical treatment everywhere after they get sick. This mentality is understandable. However, they do not know that the medicines they seek often have some unknown ingredients, which are very harmful to kidney function. In the process of random treatment, the kidney function is further damaged.

Caution: Cancer is dangerous, and cancer treatment is definitely a race against time. Only early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment can give you a better chance of defeating cancer.
