Liver cancer, shoulder notification? Does this phenomenon in the shoulder really imply that the liver is cancerous?

someone said:

Cancer is a roulette wheel of fate, whoever chooses, death will come!

There are nearly 3.8 million new cancer patients in China every year, and nearly 2.2 million people die from cancer.

According to data research, everyone has a 20% chance of developing cancer in their lifetime, and cancer is really not far from us.

Whenever I hear these somewhat "alarmist" sentences, many people will definitely say: Don't listen, don't listen, bastard chant scriptures!

But Xiaokang doctors have to say: Cancer, although menacing, does not mean that we have no ability to fight.

And this confrontation, the most direct way is early detection.

Cancer, what is it?

The so-called cancer, in layman's terms, is the mutation of the DNA of cells in the body. They are not metabolized by natural aging, but malignantly proliferate in the body, and eventually form cancerous tumors.

Cancer can develop in any part of the body where there are cells. Judging from the clinical data for many years, the high incidence of cancer in China is still visceral cancer. For example, liver cancer is a common one.

The liver is clinically known as the "silent organ". Because the liver itself lacks pain nerves, the nerves cannot transmit signals to the brain after the disease occurs.

Moreover, the compensatory capacity of liver cells is very strange.

Even with less than half of the healthy cells left, the liver can do its job as usual, and early detection of liver cancer is very difficult.

There is a symptom that is often found

With the continuous development of liver cancer, patients will gradually develop symptoms, including physical fatigue, indigestion, jaundice, etc., which are typical manifestations of liver disease.

In addition, right shoulder pain may also be related to liver cancer, which is also the most easily overlooked symptom of patients, and the misdiagnosis rate is relatively high.

The right shoulder and the liver, two parts that do not meet each other, why are they related?

In fact, after visceral lesions and pain symptoms appear, the location of the pain is not as accurate as the wound pain on the body surface, and the location of the pain is not accurate.

The pain reflection area is not necessarily the lesion area, which is related to the development of the tumor and the invasion of the surrounding tissue, which belongs to the category of referred pain and reflex pain.

The reason why primary liver cancer has right shoulder pain is the result of the development of cancer cells and the invasion of surrounding tissues.

Since the location of the liver is in the right abdominal cavity, as the cancer continues to develop, the cancer tissue will invade or infiltrate the surrounding. Shoulder pain and other symptoms.

This right shoulder pain is different from frozen shoulder

This kind of right shoulder pain can be easily distinguished from frozen shoulder, because the pain of frozen shoulder is not limited to the right shoulder, the patient may have pain on both shoulders, and it will worsen at night, and the patient’s joint activities are also will be restricted.

After taking painkillers and warm compresses, the pain will ease or even disappear.

However, liver cancer is not the same. The pain caused by liver cancer will not affect the joint activities of patients. After taking painkillers, there is no obvious relief, and the pain persists.

Moreover, liver cancer that has developed to this stage often misses the best early treatment time, and the cancer begins to infiltrate or metastasize to other tissues, so patients may also experience other symptoms, such as upper abdominal pain, indigestion, weight loss and jaundice. Wait.

According to years of clinical research, the incidence of liver cancer is mostly related to chronic liver disease, including severe alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis B, and liver cirrhosis.

Moreover, liver cancer has a familial tendency, and people with a family history of liver cancer are more likely to develop liver cancer.

Therefore, for such high-risk groups, waiting is not the right approach.

Regular physical examinations can determine whether the liver is healthy or not.
