What should liver cancer patients pay attention to in their diet at different stages? Liver cancer patients should pay attention to these two points in their diet

1. Early diet for liver cancer patients. Early patients are generally in good health, but may experience some adverse reactions such as anorexia. They should be given easily digestible food and low-fat food, because liver tumors can significantly reduce the bile secreted by liver cells or cause bile excretion disorders, resulting in intestinal fat digestion and absorption disorders.

In addition, a low-fat diet can not only relieve the patient's symptoms of nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension, but also relieve liver pain to a certain extent. Many liver cancer patients do not want to eat due to severe pain in the liver area. You can ask the patient to eat as soon as possible after taking some analgesics, or persuade the patient to eat when the pain in the liver area is relieved by itself. Medical staff and family members should pay attention to grasping this eating opportunity.

2. Diet in the middle and late stages. For patients in the middle and late stages, the situation is different. There are bleeding symptoms such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding, nose bleeding, gum bleeding, subcutaneous ecchymosis, etc. Patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding can eat only after the bleeding stops.

The diet of patients with advanced liver cancer should include milk, eggs, soy milk, lotus root powder, fruit juice, vegetable juice, lean meat paste, liver paste, etc. Vitamin C and oral iron supplements can be given appropriately to restore blood loss in time. In addition, it is important to pay attention to: less or no crude fiber in the food to avoid mechanical stimulation of bleeding wounds.
