1, what to eat to prevent liver cancer
1: coffee
Coffee contains a lot of antioxidants, which can resist oxidative stress and prevent the formation of carcinogens, but experts suggest drinking a lot of coffee according to their own situation.
2. Bean products
Soybean can inhibit the production of nitrosamines, while ammonium nitrite can cause the growth of liver cancer, so eating soy products can effectively prevent and reduce the incidence of liver cancer.
3: Mushrooms, black sweet potatoes
Black sweet potatoes and mushrooms contain a lot of selenium, which is an essential trace element for human body and can improve human immunity. Selenium supplementation is an effective measure to prevent liver cancer and liver disease. Black sweet potato and black sweet potato are rich in selenium, which is easily absorbed by the human body. They are powerful inhibitors of liver cancer and gastrointestinal cancer, so you can eat more mushrooms and black sweet potatoes in your daily life.
4. Dairy products
Milk contains calcium, vitamin D and other elements, which can combine with carcinogens in the intestine to remove harmful substances, thus preventing liver cancer; Yogurt contains lactic acid bacteria, which can inhibit and kill spoilage bacteria in the intestine, reduce toxic substances in the intestine and inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells. Therefore, drinking yogurt plays a very important role in the prevention and treatment of liver cancer.
5: Black tea, green tea
Tea polyphenols in tea can combine with carcinogens, decompose them, reduce carcinogenic activity and inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Black tea and green tea are both anti-cancer drinks, which can play a role in preventing liver cancer when drunk at the right time.
2. How to care for liver cancer?
1, if patients have liver cancer, sometimes they may be in a bad mood, and some patients may even be extremely anxious, so we should comfort them psychologically. Patients with liver cancer are irritable and irritable, so their families should understand and be patient.
2. Keep the living environment clean and comfortable, and use convection ventilation indoors.
3. Basic nursing should be "six cleanness" (cleanness of mouth, face, hair, skin of hands and feet, perineum and bed unit), "five prevention" (prevention of bedsore, postural hypotension, respiratory tract infection, cross infection and urinary tract infection), "three noes" (no feces, no falling bed and no burns) and "one management" (one management).
4, medication safety. Take the medicine on time and according to the doctor's advice, and keep the medicine well.
5, health education, guide patients to self-care, correct bad habits, don't smoke, don't drink, improve the ability of self-care, avoid the adverse effects of harmful stressors, and help them keep a balance between body and mind.
6. Encourage patients to participate in normal life, take part in easy work, study moderately, and re-establish their own survival value in work and study.
3. Symptoms of liver cancer
1, liver pain
Patients with advanced liver cancer generally have symptoms of pain in the liver area, and the pain is mostly dull or stinging. Some time before the pain, the patient will feel discomfort in the right upper abdomen. The pain is mild or severe or can be relieved by itself. The main cause of pain is the rapid growth of tumor, which compresses the liver capsule and produces traction pain, or it may be caused by tumor necrosis stimulating the liver capsule.
2. Symptoms of digestive tract
Patients with liver cancer often have digestive tract symptoms such as loss of appetite, belching, indigestion and abdominal distension. This is because cirrhosis leads to portal vein or hepatic vein hypertension, which leads to gastrointestinal dysfunction, resulting in abdominal distension, frequent defecation, indigestion, belching and other symptoms.
3. Have a fever
Fever and hyperhidrosis are the symptoms of most patients with liver cancer. General high fever, above 39℃. This is due to the necrosis of tumor tissue, which leads to the release of pyrogen and thus enters the blood circulation. Cancer patients are prone to infection and fever because of their low resistance.
4, emaciation and fatigue
The common symptoms of patients with liver cancer in the late stage are emaciation and fatigue. Fatigue may lead to nutrient absorption disorder due to digestive dysfunction, which may lead to insufficient energy in the body. Weight loss is due to the damage of stem cells, which leads to the decline of liver function and digestion and absorption ability.
5, bleeding tendency
Due to impaired liver function and abnormal coagulation function, patients with advanced liver cancer are prone to bleeding tendency such as gingival bleeding and subcutaneous ecchymosis. Gastrointestinal bleeding is caused by esophageal and gastric varices caused by portal hypertension. It is the main cause of death of patients with liver cancer.
6, edema of lower limbs
In patients with liver cancer, venous return is blocked due to ascites compressing veins of lower limbs or blocking tumor thrombus. Causing edema of the lower limbs.
7. Acute abdomen
The symptoms of liver capsule irritation are usually caused by the rupture of cancer nodules, and there is obvious tenderness in the liver area during physical examination. Some patients developed acute abdominal pain with peritoneal irritation after the rupture of cancer nodules.
