Preface
At dusk, Li Ming, who had just gotten off work, sat in the consultation room, looking at the test sheet in front of him with a solemn face.
As a doctor, he knows what these numbers mean.
Li Ming's patient, Zhang Wei, a 52-year-old worker, was diagnosed with liver cancer.
Zhang Wei was found to have abnormal liver function during a physical examination. Further examination revealed a tumor on his liver.
The doctor advised him to be hospitalized as soon as possible, but Zhang Wei seemed very calm, he told Li Ming that he did not have any bad habits, did not smoke, did not drink too much, worked and rested on time, and lived a regular life, how could he get liver cancer?
Li Ming sighed, he knew that the occurrence of liver cancer is not always directly related to bad lifestyle habits.
In fact, many liver cancer patients, like Zhang Wei, usually live a healthy life, but they still can't escape the invasion of the disease.
"Mr. Zhang Wei, I would like to ask, do you usually look at your mobile phone or computer before going to bed at night?" asked Li Ming.
Zhang Wei thought for a while and replied: "Yes, I have to watch the news for a while every day before going to bed and reply to my work WeChat, what's wrong?"
Li Ming explained: "In fact, watching electronic screens at night will inhibit the body's secretion of melatonin and affect sleep quality.
Long-term sleep deprivation or poor sleep quality can lead to weakened immunity and weakened ability to repair cell damage, thereby increasing the risk of cancer.
In particular, the liver is an organ with a strong circadian rhythm, and if you stay up late often, the liver will be in a state of stress for a long time and will be more susceptible to damage. "
Zhang Wei suddenly realized: "No wonder I always feel bad sleep recently, I didn't expect it to be related to liver cancer."
Doctor, I often get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, does it have anything to do with this?"
Li Ming nodded: "There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine called 'liver master excretion', which means that the liver has the function of regulating metabolism and excretion in the body.
If liver function is impaired, it may interfere with urination, causing frequent waking up at night.
Therefore, to protect the liver, we should not only pay attention to diet and daily life, but also avoid staying up late and ensure adequate and high-quality sleep. "
Zhang Wei nodded thoughtfully.
Li Ming continued: "In addition to lifestyle habits, the occurrence of liver cancer is also related to factors such as infection with hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, and long-term consumption of food contaminated with aflatoxin.
However, at present, Mr. Zhang Wei, your liver cancer is still in the early stage, and as long as you actively cooperate with the treatment, there is still a good hope for a complete recovery. "
"Do I need to have surgery to remove it?" I heard that liver cancer surgery is very risky?" Zhang Wei asked with some concern.
"There are various treatment options for liver cancer, such as surgery, radiofrequency ablation, embolization, and targeted drug therapy.
Your situation is a good candidate for radiofrequency ablation, with minimal risk and trauma, but with great results. "
Li Ming patiently explained, "And it is also important for you to pay attention to rest more and maintain an optimistic and positive attitude."
We will do our best to fight with you. "
Zhang Wei's eyes were a little moist: "Thank you, Dr. Li, I will definitely work hard to cooperate with the treatment and strive for a speedy recovery."
This illness made me realize the importance of health, and I will pay attention to getting rid of the bad habit of staying up late in the future and take good care of my liver. "
Li Ming smiled with satisfaction: "It's easy for you to have such an awareness." We wish you a speedy recovery!
I also hope that your experience can help more people, raise everyone's attention to liver health, and develop good lifestyle habits.
To prevent liver cancer, we should start with a drip. "
Zhang Wei thanked Li Ming gratefully and walked out of the consultation room with expectations and confidence for the future.
Li Ming watched his back disappear at the door, and secretly made up his mind to work harder to do his job well and protect the health of every patient with the benevolence of a doctor.
