Can ascites be drained in the late stage of pancreatic cancer? Try to stay in bed and rest

What should we do if pancreatic cancer has ascites in the late stage? Because pancreatic cancer is not a common disease, many people are relatively unfamiliar with this disease. Therefore, many pancreatic cancer patients are already in the late stage when they are first diagnosed, and many patients with advanced pancreatic cancer have lost confidence in treatment. So what should we do if pancreatic cancer has ascites in the late stage?

Surgery is also possible in the late stage of pancreatic cancer. For example, choledochojejunostomy is a palliative treatment to relieve symptoms. If ascites occurs, bed rest should be tried as much as possible. If there is a lot of ascites, abdominal fluid should be drained appropriately and diuretics should be used.

Advanced pancreatic cancer often causes poor liver function, which may be caused by liver metastasis or obstruction of bile duct excretion. First, an ascites examination should be performed to determine its nature. If it is bloody and cancer cells are found in the exfoliated cells, it is caused by metastasis. Treatment of pancreatic cancer is the fundamental treatment, but symptomatic treatment is equally important. In the late stage of pancreatic cancer, if ascites occurs, try to stay in bed and rest, which is extremely important for the recovery of heart, liver, and kidney function, and is conducive to the disappearance of ascites. If the amount of ascites is large, it should be appropriately drained to reduce the amount of ascites, and diuretics should be used in combination. Diuretics should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the tumors with the highest mortality rate. Critical symptoms often appear in the late stage of pancreatic cancer. The more obvious the late symptoms are, the higher the mortality rate. The most important thing in the late stage is to improve the patient's quality of life and relieve the late symptoms of pancreatic cancer. The modern Chinese medicine ginsenoside Rh2 has been proven to effectively relieve the late symptoms of pancreatic cancer, thereby prolonging the lives of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
