The way to relieve abdominal distension caused by esophageal cancer should be analyzed in detail. If there is ascites in the abdomen of the patient, it is necessary to conduct abdominal puncture and drainage in time, which can effectively alleviate the abdominal distension. When esophageal cancer patients reach the advanced stage, peritoneal metastasis may occur, which will lead to ascites. If there is water in the stomach, abdominal distention will occur. Abdominal puncture and drainage can be used for treatment. If the cancer cells appear in the abdominal cavity of the patient, the compression of the abdominal cavity is relatively serious, resulting in abdominal distention, corresponding chemotherapy and radiotherapy are needed to control the growth of the tumor, which has a certain therapeutic effect on abdominal distention, and can alleviate the pain of the patient. It is suggested to keep optimistic mood and reduce stress during treatment.
