What changes occur in the stool during defecation, which may be the signal of liver cancer?

Liver cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. China is a big country with liver cancer. Almost half of the world's liver cancer patients are in China. The etiology of primary liver cancer is not very clear. It is affected by many factors. The appearance of liver cancer is a complex process with multiple factors and multiple steps. It is closely related to factors such as environment, diet, and infectious liver disease.

More importantly, in clinical practice, many patients with liver cancer are already at an advanced stage when they are diagnosed, delaying the best time for treatment. If the early signs of liver cancer can be detected in time and treated actively, the disease may be controlled. The body will send signals when going to the toilet, and the following abnormal changes will occur in the stool. Remember to look back after defecation, and you may not miss the liver. A distress signal was sent.

What are the abnormalities in the stool, which may indicate that the liver cancer has been on the body?

Stools that are not formed, very loose, and always have diarrhea are an early symptom that can easily be overlooked and confused. The liver can secrete bile, and bile can help digest fat and promote the absorption and metabolism of food. Once there is a problem with the liver, the ability to metabolize bile will decline, and the absorption and digestion of food will be hindered, which will cause indigestion. Diarrhea is typical a symptom.

This type of diarrhea is generally chronic and is easily misdiagnosed as intestinal disease. Many people think that it is just caused by eating a bad stomach, which is more likely to be ignored. Little do they know that it is likely to be liver-derived diarrhea.

In a healthy condition, the color of the stool is generally yellow or brown, and the color of the stool will change after eating certain foods, such as eating pig blood, the color will turn black, eating a lot of green vegetables, the color will turn green, or taking certain foods. Medications can also make stools discolored.

Excluding these factors, if the stool color changes to clay color, it may be a signal of liver cancer. Damage to liver function will affect the normal metabolism of bilirubin. Bilirubin is orange-yellow. When the content of bilirubin released into the blood increases and enters the systemic circulation, it will affect the color of the stool, and it will become more yellow, like Terracotta color.

Blood in the stool should also be vigilant. Cancer cells grow in the liver. In the process of continuous growth, they will press on some tissues in the body, which is especially likely to cause gastrointestinal bleeding. In addition, the liver has the function of storing blood, which stores blood. The ability to decline, itself will have a bleeding tendency.

Especially if you eat some too hard or rough foods, the color change of the stool will be more obvious, these foods will scratch the veins, and then cause bleeding.

In addition to the stool, the urine will also be abnormal, the color of the urine will become dark yellow, and the taste may be very pungent or even smelly.

After suffering from liver cancer, many patients will feel that they are hopeless and that treatment and other treatments are futile and waste of money. This kind of mentality must be avoided. Early detection, this situation is relatively optimistic, after standardized treatment, the survival rate is relatively high, life can be extended. If it is discovered too late, the range of cancerous changes is relatively large, and the difficulty of curing will naturally increase.

You must maintain a good attitude, fight hard against cancer cells, take active treatment, believe that you should also trust the doctor, and do a good job of regular inspections, pay attention to developing healthy living habits, and don’t treat them negatively.

From this point of view, although urination and defecation are wastes excreted by the human body, to a large extent it is a “signal light” for health. After urination, look back and observe in time. , Early diagnosis and early treatment can greatly improve the survival rate of liver cancer.
