Frequent shoulder pain, a sign of liver cancer? If it is accompanied by itching and redness, please do an inspection immediately.
In recent years, the incidence of liver cancer has continued to rise. Many people think that liver cancer is formed silently, and there is no signal in the early stage. It's not that there is no signal, it's just ignored.
In other words, when there are abnormal changes in the body, it is unexpected that there is a major problem in the liver. I always think that it is a small matter, and it is easy to make a small problem develop into a big problem.
For example, shoulder pain is not uncommon in life. When a posture is held for a long time, or when the body is extremely fatigued, shoulder pain will occur, so that shoulder pain is not taken seriously and considered irrelevant. But I don’t know that frequent shoulder pain may be a signal of liver cancer. Let’s take a closer look at it.
Most people should have doubts, why there is pain in the shoulder when liver cancer comes. Referred pain is mainly caused by the compression of surrounding tissues and nerves.
When bad things appear in the liver, the liver will swell, the outer liver capsule will swell, and after a feeling of tightness, pain will appear in the liver area. The bad things continue to grow and become larger and larger, and the surrounding tissues and nerves will be compressed, which will involve the right shoulder and cause pain in the right shoulder.
When you have pain in the right shoulder, it may also be accompanied by pain in the lower back. If you often have pain in the right shoulder, don't think it is caused by fatigue, go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, and it is not easy to delay the disease.
When liver cancer comes, in addition to causing shoulder pain, it may also be accompanied by itching and redness
An itching is an inexplicable itching sensation on the skin. Generally, the itching sensation is caused by skin allergies or skin problems. It will gradually improve after the relevant methods are dealt with.
However, this inexplicable itching cannot be relieved for a long time, and it will recur repeatedly. The skin will be inexplicably itchy, mainly because the bad things in the liver press on the common bile duct, and the bile discharge will be blocked.
The bile accumulates in the blood, circulates to the skin, and deposits, which can irritate the skin and cause itching. If your skin is suddenly itchy, and the related medicines do not improve the problem, it is necessary to check the liver as soon as possible.
Second redness is mainly reflected in two aspects. On the one hand, the gums will always bleed. On the other hand, the redness at the thenar area of the palm. Bleeding gums is also a relatively common phenomenon. When brushing your teeth or eating hard food, there will be bleeding gums. Usually these things happen occasionally, not very often.
If you have bleeding gums in a short period of time, and you have checked that it is not a problem with the oral cavity, you cannot relax your vigilance. There may be a bad condition in the liver.
When liver cancer is on the upper body, there will be abnormal bleeding, mainly due to the decline of liver function and the reduction of coagulation factors, which will cause bleeding gums. In addition, there may also be nasal bleeding, or bleeding from the digestive tract, and bruising caused by the expansion of subcutaneous blood vessels. .
The redness at the thenar area of the palm, also known as the palm of the liver, is an important manifestation of liver disease. After the liver is damaged, the inactivation ability of the liver to estrogen will decrease. If the estrogen level is too high, the subcutaneous blood vessels will dilate, which will cause the liver palm.
The palm-sized thenar area will not only become red, but sometimes there will also be spots or plaques. If this phenomenon occurs, don't be sloppy. Check it out as soon as possible, and you may be able to save your life.
It can be seen that when liver cancer is on the upper body, there are still quite a few physical manifestations. Don't turn a blind eye and investigate the cause early, so that the situation will not become serious. People who have liver disease themselves need to pay more attention to the changes in their bodies. They can't let go of even a small change. Doing an examination early can also make you feel at ease.
