A swollen and hard belly caused by cancer is most likely caused by ascites. We all know that when cancer develops to the late stage, it will have a serious impact on the body and may also harm the digestive system, thereby affecting the absorption of nutrients. This can easily cause the patient to develop hypoproteinemia and fluid accumulation in the patient's abdomen. This situation will seriously affect the patient's quality of life. If not treated in time, it may lead to worsening of the disease. Therefore, after this situation occurs, we must go to the hospital for treatment in time to control the development of the disease as soon as possible.

3. What to do if your stomach is swollen and hard in the late stage of cancer

For this symptom, patients can take relevant Chinese medicine to regulate their body in order to improve physical fitness, promote nutrient absorption, improve hypoproteinemia, and restore the body's osmotic pressure to normal. As the body's metabolism progresses, the ascites will slowly disappear. Patients should also pay attention to dietary conditioning. They should eat more protein-rich foods, such as beef, eggs, milk, etc., to promote balanced absorption of nutrients. In addition, patients should pay more attention to rest and not let their bodies become too tired, so as not to lead to a decrease in immunity, which will have an adverse effect on treatment.

In short, we should correctly understand the reasons why patients with advanced cancer have a bloated and hard stomach, and also learn the correct treatment methods, which will be of great help in prolonging the patient's life cycle. In daily life, in addition to giving patients relevant medications, we must also pay attention to dietary conditioning and give patients more nutritious foods so that the symptoms can disappear as soon as possible.
