Is a faint pain below the center of the lower abdomen indicative of rectal cancer?
There is a vague pain just below the middle of the lower abdomen, and although there is a possibility of rectal cancer, it is not necessarily certain to be rectal cancer. There are many reasons for pain in this area; common causes to consider include intestinal infection or intestinal spasms and obstruction. Tumors can also cause pain in this area. In women, pain just below the middle of the lower abdomen also needs to exclude the possibility of pelvic inflammatory disease or gynecological inflammation, etc. It is necessary to complete examinations such as a color ultrasound and an upright abdominal plain film for confirmation. If the pain occurs repeatedly, further examinations including a complete blood count, inflammatory markers, and other relevant inflammation tests should also be completed for a clear diagnosis.
What should someone with advanced liver cancer eat if they have no appetite?
In the late stages of liver cancer, loss of appetite may be related to gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by widespread metastasis of cancer cells. If loss of appetite occurs, it is first recommended to try eating orally as much as possible, and consuming rice porridge or noodle soup to increase nutrition. If there is still no appetite, nutritional support can be provided through parenteral nutrition, such as using nutritional elements and substances for intravenous treatment. If the results are not satisfactory, medication can be administered through a central venous catheter for better outcomes.
What causes purple lips and mouth ulcers?
There is the appearance of cyanosis of the lips and oral ulcers, which might be associated with a deficiency in certain vitamins or trace elements. It is advised to visit a hospital to complete tests related to trace elements and electrolytes, among others. Additionally, the cyanosis of the lips also necessitates the exclusion of potential hypoxia. It is important to observe if the patient experiences chest tightness, coughing, expectoration, shortness of breath, and other symptoms. If necessary, completing a blood gas analysis to confirm whether there is hypoxia or carbon dioxide retention may be required. It’s important to maintain a balanced diet, ensuring good eating and living habits, and avoiding selective or picky eating to prevent changes or exacerbation of the condition. It is also advised to have regular follow-up visits at the hospital.
