Liver cancer is not painful or itchy in the early stage, and once discovered, it is in the advanced stage. Experts: 3 abnormalities can be easily distinguished
Mr. Zhang was dragged by the child to the hospital for a physical examination. I do not want to be found out of liver cancer, and the disease has developed to the advanced stage of liver cancer. The child was already slumped on the ground crying, and Mr. Zhang himself seemed to have lost his soul, sitting sluggishly on the chair.
After careful inquiries, I realized that Mr. Zhang has always been in good health and is in the transportation business. About half a year ago, the whites of his eyes began to turn yellow. The children tried to persuade him to go to the hospital for a check-up, but Mr. Zhang didn't care. There was no need for a check-up. He just thought he was tired of staying up late and driving. But he didn't want to lose weight in the last few months, and the child accidentally heard from a colleague that his father was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis due to yellowing of the whites of his eyes, so he took his father to the hospital for examination, but what was unexpected was that, A check is advanced liver cancer.
In fact, the liver, as one of the most important detoxification organs in the body, is very special, because it does not have any pain-sensing nerves, so lesions will not cause pain. Some people may say that some patients suffering from liver cirrhosis can feel pain. In fact, this is because the pain in the liver area affects the liver capsule, or the pain caused by the compression of the diaphragm.
The yellowing of the whites of the eyes is a symptom of the middle and late stages of liver disease, which is a typical feature of jaundice, mainly because the content of bilirubin in the blood exceeds the standard. Bilirubin is a neurotoxin in bile secreted by the liver, giving it a yellow color. Under normal circumstances, bilirubin in the body will be metabolized normally, but when the liver is diseased, it will have a certain impact on the normal metabolism of bilirubin, so that the content of bilirubin in the blood will increase linearly, and inflammation of the biliary tract will also affect The excretion of bile causes cholestasis, causing it to rise. If the content of bilirubin is too high, how can it show its color and toxicity, and circulate to the eyes with the blood, thus causing the white of the eyes to turn yellow.
In fact, there has been a saying in traditional Chinese medicine since ancient times, "Those who have internal things must do things externally." In fact, in daily life, the following three major symptoms appear in the body, we should check the liver function as soon as possible.
- Spider mole
Spider moles are named for their shape, and they usually appear on the chest, neck, shoulders, and face. Usually spider naevi turn into external manifestations of liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis. This is because the inactivation ability of the liver to estrogen decreases, resulting in disorder of estrogen metabolism, and the accumulation of a large amount of estrogen will cause the small arteries of the skin and mucous membranes to expand and form spider nevus.
- Liver face
Liver face is a general term for facial abnormalities caused by liver cirrhosis, usually including dark circles under the eyes, dark complexion, purple lips, etc. This is because the weakening of liver function will affect the metabolism of pigment in the body and make more melanin The achievement is in the epidermis, and because the facial skin is thinner relative to the rest of the skin, these symptoms are more pronounced.
- Abnormal bleeding
The liver plays an irreplaceable role in the anticoagulation and coagulation balance of the human body, because the coagulation factor-grade coagulation proteins made by the body are synthesized by the liver. With liver disease, its synthetic function will also decline, and after the blood coagulation components in the body are reduced, the amount of bleeding will gradually increase, mainly manifested as bleeding from gums, nosebleeds, and hemorrhoids.
