What to do if you are drowsy in the late stage of liver cancer? Actively treat it

Liver cancer patients will have a series of symptoms. They must actively seek treatment and not ignore it, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. So what should we do if we are in a coma in the late stage of liver cancer? Let's take a look at this question together.

Liver cancer refers to malignant tumors that occur in the liver, including primary liver cancer and metastatic liver cancer. People usually refer to primary liver cancer. Primary liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in clinical practice. Primary liver cancer can be divided into hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and mixed liver cancer according to cell type.

1. Symptoms of early liver cancer and late hepatic coma

It can last from a few days to a few weeks, so early detection and early treatment are important. It usually occurs after the above-mentioned causes.

(1) Behavioral changes, including complaints of personality changes, frequent euphoria or apathy, untidy clothing, urination and defecation in public, and abnormal behavior.

(2) Confused thinking and abnormal statements, including slurred speech, confusion about time, people, and place, hallucinations, fear, and irritability.

(3) Insomnia or daytime sleepiness and morning awakening.

2. Symptoms of late-stage liver cancer and late-stage hepatic coma

(1) Flapping tremor of both upper limbs (when the patient is asked to hold both hands horizontally, they will shake up and down involuntarily), high muscle tone, paroxysmal convulsions, confusion to coma, and abnormal EEG.

(2) Patients with severe hepatitis and cirrhosis often have jaundice, ascites, spider nevi, liver palms, and skin hemorrhages.

(3) The patient can smell a special odor when exhaling, which is similar to the smell of earth and fruit, commonly known as "liver odor".

(4) Laboratory tests showed abnormal liver function and elevated blood ammonia.

What to do if liver cancer patients are drowsy: Drowsiness is the result of liver coma, and patients often have anxiety and apathy. To alleviate drowsiness, the liver should be awakened. Patients can be provided with nutritious food, and should not eat too much high-protein food, which is different from other cancers. Fresh vegetables and fruits can be eaten in moderation.

What to do if liver cancer patients are drowsy: Wake up the liver area, or take Chinese medicine to wake up the brain, accelerate blood circulation in the body, relieve congestion symptoms, and ultimately reduce drowsiness. At the same time, patients need to rest, and it is very important to provide patients with a quiet and warm environment, keep the room ventilated, and breathe fresh air.

For patients with advanced liver cancer, treatment is even more important. Choosing appropriate treatment methods can alleviate liver cancer symptoms and thus prolong life.
