What are the symptoms of advanced bile duct cancer? There are 3 symptoms

All tumors have similar symptoms in the final stage of life, and there is nothing special about the symptoms of late-stage bile duct cancer before death. When cancer patients are in the final stage of life, most of them are very thin, and can be described as skinny. Patients have no strength and can't even walk. They can only sleep in bed. In addition, they can't eat or sleep.

When it comes to cancer, everyone knows that it is very harmful, so patients will think of using some methods to treat it in the early stages of the disease, only in this way can they reduce the occurrence of greater diseases. However, although some patients have received treatment, the disease still develops to the late stage, and the hope of cure is very slim. So what are the symptoms of late-stage bile duct cancer?
1. Advanced bile duct cancer usually presents with symptoms such as jaundice, abdominal pain, itchy skin, and weight loss. The location and form of pain are similar to those of gallstones or cholecystitis. At the same time, due to the increase in bilirubin content in the blood, it will stimulate nerve endings and cause itchy skin, which may be accompanied by other symptoms such as tachycardia, bleeding tendency, mental depression, fatigue, steatorrhea, abdominal distension, etc.
2. As the disease progresses, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, dark yellow urine like soy sauce or strong tea, light yellow or even clay-colored stools, etc. may also occur.
3. If the tumor ruptures in the late stage, there may be bile duct bleeding, black stools, positive fecal occult blood test, and even anemia. If there is liver metastasis, symptoms such as liver enlargement and cirrhosis may occur.
Many patients may also experience very severe pain. After tumor cells invade the nerves, such pain is difficult to treat and is very painful. The patient is in great pain and even needs the hospital's analgesia department to use very severe measures. Sometimes the effect is not ideal and it cannot be controlled. Sometimes, even the pethidine given to the patient in the clinic cannot control it. In short, tumor patients, whether it is bile duct cancer or other cancers, will show similar symptoms in the final stage.
Patients with advanced bile duct cancer generally experience obvious cancer pain, and require morphine or pethidine to achieve better analgesic effects. In addition, patients with advanced bile duct cancer will also experience obvious jaundice and skin itching. Another common complication is bile duct infection, which can cause high fever and chills, and in severe cases can lead to septic shock and death. Patients with advanced bile duct cancer also generally have obvious loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss, anemia, etc., which can cause vomiting blood, black stools, and cachexia.
