Mr. Liu, 46, has always considered himself to be relatively strong, and he often jokes with friends that his body is as strong as an ox, and sometimes he has not had a fever or cold once in several years.
Some time ago, Mr. Liu developed edema in his leg accompanied by persistent pain. At first, Mr. Liu didn't pay much attention to these changes, thinking that it might be caused by physical fatigue and that he only needed to rest and rest to relieve them.
However, after about a month, Mr. Liu noticed that not only was his leg often swollen, but the skin on his body had also changed, and he looked yellow.
The pain in my legs became more and more obvious, and sometimes I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. Mr. Liu went to the hospital for an examination, and the result turned out to be advanced liver cancer.
In Mr. Liu's case, the doctor said that liver cancer is a relatively common liver disease and a disease that is prone to metastasis. The reason why Mr. Liu developed edema was caused by the deterioration of the liver's metabolic ability.
In fact, when many cancers occur, there will be corresponding changes in the legs, especially when the cancer cells continue to spread, which will inevitably have a great impact on the vascular nervous system.
For example, some patients experience a feeling of swelling in the legs, and some patients experience leg pain. Because most malignant lesions tend to cause the blood to enter a hypercoagulable state.
At this time, the fluidity of the blood will become poor, and blood clots will easily form. Some researchers have pointed out that when malignant lesions appear in the internal organs of the human body, thrombophlebitis is often caused.
In fact, there are a large number of nerves and vascular tissues in the legs, and the first symptom that many cancer patients experience in the process of the disease is discomfort or even swelling in the lower limbs, and some people often experience pain.
After these symptoms appear, a color ultrasound examination at the hospital will reveal that the veins have been blocked, and blood clots are an important cause of the blockage. In such cases, a deep vein thrombosis is formed.
When a blood clot blocks a blood vessel, it can cause swelling in the legs. Therefore, if you observe edema in your legs in your daily life, you need to go to the hospital for immediate examination.
It is necessary to rule out whether it is caused by blood clots, and at the same time, a whole body examination should be done to rule out whether the body has cancer. According to the statistics released by professional institutions, the number of patients with various cancers in China has increased significantly in recent years.
The most typical of these are liver cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer and bowel cancer. In fact, most cancers are very insidious at the beginning, and most patients are not aware of the corresponding symptoms.
Once symptoms appear, they are often in the middle and late stages. However, when many cancers occur, the first symptoms of cancer are actually in the legs.
Especially in the case of darkening of the skin on the legs, the main reason for this condition is related to the abnormal metabolism of the human body, and the main cause of the abnormal metabolism of the human body is the presence of cancer cells in the body.
No matter what the cause of the darkening of the skin, you need to be vigilant enough to go to the hospital in time to find out the cause. There are also some cancer patients who experience pain in their legs after the onset of the disease.
This is because cancer cells expand rapidly in the body, resulting in a large amount of nutrients being absorbed by the cancer cells. After the cancer cells absorb a large amount of nutrients, they may metastasize to the bones, causing pain in the bones and joints.
There are also some patients who have lumps in their legs, so they should also be vigilant if they have lumps in their legs. Is it caused by the crazy growth of cancer cells in the body, or even the metastasis of cancer cells?
