This hiccup is liver cancer Mr. Wang of Jinhua, who had been belching for more than two months, could not even sleep. When I went to the hospital for an inspection, it turned out that it was because the liver had a large tumor.
Mr. Wang, living in downtown Jinhua, is in his early 50s. One day two months ago, when he came home from work, he suddenly began to hiccup. At first, he thought that hiccups would soon pass away. But he didn't think that this time, like being attacked by evil, he had been hitting for two months, from once every few days to more and more frequently. Finally, he couldn't sleep well and could not stop.
He tried many folk methods to stop burping, but they didn't work. What's more, during the two months of hiccups, he lost 10 kg.
Later, Mr. Wang felt something big as a fist on his right stomach. He had it before liver Hemangioma And rushed to the hospital for examination.
Sure enough, Li Xuemin, chief physician of Hepatobiliary Pancreatic Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of Jinhua Central Hospital, found that what Mr. Wang got at first was rectal cancer Since it has not been found, it has been transferred to the liver. The metastatic cancer cells also formed a 25 cm × 16 cm malignant tumor on his right liver, which is larger than the liver of an adult.
However, how can a tumor in the liver lead to hiccups?
Doctor Li said that normal people's hiccups are mostly related to diet, such as eating too fast, being too full, being too cold or too hot, as well as changes in external temperature and excessive smoking, which generally last for a short time. This is because the tumor reaches the diaphragm too much, and the bigger the tumor grows, the greater the stimulation to the diaphragm, which will lead to frequent hiccups or even more than 24 hours.
It's harmless to burp occasionally, but continuous burping will cause chest discomfort. Sun Gang, the chief Chinese medicine doctor in charge of the liver disease clinic of Nanjing Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine Hospital, said that if there is a serious hiccup that is not easy to disappear by itself, we should be careful that the tumor causes liver enlargement and stimulates the diaphragm to cause diaphragm spasm. We need to see a doctor in time to find out the cause so as not to delay treatment.
