Be careful of liver cancer if you are so tired! These types of people are most likely to get liver cancer...

The most typical symptom of liver cancer is feeling tired and weight loss for no reason. In the early stages of liver cancer, the first thing patients feel is physical fatigue. Compared with fatigue caused by other reasons, the fatigue caused by liver cancer cannot be eliminated even if the patient lies down and rests quietly. Cancer cells damage the liver's storage function. The calories produced by the food consumed by the human body will be absorbed by the intestines, and some of them will be transported to the liver for storage, and then transported to all parts of the body when our body needs it. If the liver is invaded by liver cancer cells, the liver's storage function will be damaged and the body's fuel supply will be reduced. As the tumor continues to expand, it causes digestive tract dysfunction, indigestion, and nutrient absorption disorders, so mental fatigue due to lack of energy will occur.

treat

At present, surgery is still the first choice for early treatment of liver cancer in clinical practice. The smaller the tumor and the earlier it is discovered, the higher the 5-year survival rate. However, during surgical treatment, attention should be paid to coordinating with Chinese medicine. Most patients with advanced liver cancer cannot withstand surgical treatment due to various factors such as physical condition and spread of cancer. For such patients, conservative treatment is often adopted in clinical practice.

Liver cancer favors 5 types of people. People with hepatitis B are at high risk. 1. People who have had hepatitis B.

In Western countries, liver cancer patients infected with hepatitis C virus are more common. In my country, about 90% of liver cancer patients have been infected with hepatitis B virus. (Note that this sentence does not mean that if you have hepatitis B, there is a 90% chance of developing liver cancer.) Therefore, anyone who has been infected with hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus is advised to have regular physical examinations and pay more attention to their liver condition.

2. Liver cirrhosis

The next step after cirrhosis is often liver cancer, especially in patients who have already been diagnosed with cirrhosis.

3. There is liver cancer in the family

Liver cancer is not a genetic disease. But there is a family clustering phenomenon of liver cancer. The most common example is that a mother with hepatitis B also "passes" the hepatitis B virus to her child when she gives birth. But don't worry too much, even if the mother is a hepatitis B virus carrier, as long as the child is given hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine in time, it can be well controlled.

4. People over 40 years old

The peak age for liver cancer is after 40 years old, namely men over 40 and women over 50 years old, among which the incidence rate in men is higher than that in women.

5. People who love to drink

Many people know that people who drink alcohol for a long time are prone to alcoholic liver disease. Alcoholic liver disease is not easy to deal with. It has the potential to develop into cirrhosis and further into liver cancer.

Therefore, those who have hepatitis should control it, and those who have bad living habits should actively improve them. It is also important to do a good physical examination, early detection and early treatment. Even if liver cancer occurs, if it can be caught in the early stage, the treatment effect is good.
