What are the symptoms of bile duct cancer? There are three symptoms

The abdominal pain of patients with bile duct cancer is mainly manifested as mild discomfort in the upper abdomen after eating, or dull pain, or back pain, or right upper abdominal colic, which is a manifestation of nerve invasion. It may appear before or after jaundice. Fever symptoms in patients with bile duct cancer are generally caused by inflammation in the obstructive bile duct, and the incidence rate is low. However, it should be discovered in advance and treatment measures should be taken in time.

Nowadays, the occurrence of various cancers is not unfamiliar to everyone, because the incidence of cancer is very high now, and the probability of middle-aged and elderly people getting cancer is even higher. Among them, bile duct cancer is no exception. Once it occurs, it will cause serious harm to the patient's health. If it is not treated and controlled in time, it may lead to the patient's life. The mortality rate of cancer is very high, so preventive measures must be taken in the early stage. Biliary duct cancer is not unfamiliar to everyone, so what are the symptoms of bile duct cancer?
1. Symptoms may appear before or after jaundice, and may be accompanied by other symptoms such as tachycardia, bleeding tendency, mental depression, fatigue, steatorrhea, abdominal distension, etc. Skin itching is caused by increased bilirubin content in the blood, which stimulates the peripheral nerves of the skin.
2. Most patients have symptoms such as right upper abdominal pain, distension or discomfort, weight loss, and loss of appetite, which are often considered one of the early symptoms of bile duct cancer. When the abdominal pain begins, it is similar to cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. According to clinical observations, abdominal pain and jaundice can occur only 3 months after the onset of bile duct cancer.
3. The early symptoms of bile duct cancer are not obvious. Most patients seek medical treatment due to jaundice. Jaundice is the earliest and most important symptom of bile duct cancer. About 90%-98% of bile duct cancer patients have varying degrees of yellowing of the skin and sclera. The characteristic of jaundice is that it is progressive and deepens, and is mostly painless. In a few patients, jaundice fluctuates. Jaundice appears earlier in upper bile duct cancer, while jaundice in middle and lower bile duct cancer may appear later due to the buffering of the gallbladder.
Patients with bile duct cancer should first be judged based on the treatment method. Secondly, the patient's own factors are also very important, both physical and psychological. Finally, the care and understanding of the family are also greatly helpful for the patient's recovery. As a family member, you must communicate more with the doctor to help the patient prolong his life and do a good job of basic control of diet in daily life.
