What are the symptoms of liver cancer? Five major manifestations of liver cancer

The liver is a major organ in our body. If it is damaged in any way, it will have a great impact on the body. The appearance of liver cancer directly endangers people's health. It cannot play some of its own functions and makes people's immunity low. Therefore, everyone should understand some symptoms of liver disease and take the correct treatment to ensure the health of the body.

Five major manifestations of liver cancer:
1. Becoming thinner and having no strength <br/>This symptom usually occurs in the middle and late stages of liver cancer. The reason for this symptom is that the size of the tumor has become relatively large, and the various metabolites produced by the tumor will directly cause changes in the body's biochemistry, causing liver cancer patients to eat less and less food, and they will also develop cachexia.
2. Continuous fever <br/> Generally speaking, liver cancer will cause a low-grade fever, and the body temperature generally remains at around 37.5-38 degrees. The body temperature of a normal person should be around 36.3 to 37.2 degrees, which is slightly higher than the basal body temperature. In fact, the symptoms of liver cancer patients are somewhat different from those caused by a common cold. If the fever is caused by a cold, there will not be a series of symptoms such as chills, but liver cancer patients will.
3. Digestive tract symptoms <br/>The most common one is that the stomach capacity is greatly reduced. Maybe the liver cancer patient could eat two large bowls of rice before, but now feels full after eating one bowl of rice, and the food is so full that it reaches the upper abdomen. He may even have a series of problems such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
4. Severe pain <br/>The pain is in the area where liver cancer occurs, that is, the location of the liver. For example, some patients with liver cancer in this area generally experience continuous dull pain, and some patients may also experience occasional stabbing pain. In addition, in addition to pain in this area, some patients may experience pain in the right shoulder. This type of pain is more common in liver cancer patients with tumors in the right lobe close to the diaphragm, because the diaphragm of liver cancer patients is squeezed by the tumor, which causes such pain, which is very different from frozen shoulder.
5. Hypoproteinemia <br/>The main manifestation of hypoproteinemia is edema. If you have the above four symptoms and edema occurs at the same time, you should initially consider whether it is liver cancer. In China, the diagnosis rate of liver cancer is very low. On the one hand, liver cancer screening is not popular enough, and on the other hand, people do not have a comprehensive understanding of the early symptoms of liver cancer. They only regard it as an ordinary minor illness and delay it until it reaches the late stage. Therefore, experts say that in order to increase the early diagnosis rate of liver cancer, high-risk groups should undergo regular liver cancer screening, and secondly, they should understand the symptoms of liver cancer and seek medical treatment in time once they are found.
