What disease is liver cyst? Hepatic cyst is a common benign disease of liver, and the detection rate in physical examination is 1%~ 2%.
Generally speaking, it is a "blister" in the liver. Hepatic cysts can be divided into congenital and acquired. Congenital is caused by abnormal development in embryonic stage. It's just a cyst, not a tumor. There's no need to panic. Under normal circumstances, it will not grow up and become malignant, and it will not pose a threat to patients' lives and have little impact on their living habits. For hepatic cysts, the most important thing is regular follow-up. If possible, you can do a 1~2 B-ultrasound once a year.
Acquired factors rarely occur, for example, in pastoral areas, people are infected with echinococcosis and parasitic cysts appear in the liver.
Can hepatic cyst become cancerous? The most worrying thing about liver cyst is whether it will become cancerous. I can give you a reassurance here. Liver cysts have nothing to do with liver cancer, and most of them will not become cancerous.
However, there will also be two rare situations. One is the wrong diagnosis, which diagnosed hepatic cystadenocarcinoma as hepatic cyst; Second, the patient has a long history of liver cysts. Therefore, it is suggested that patients should have a liver B-ultrasound examination once or twice a year according to their own conditions.
Pay attention to these four points in life. Although hepatic cyst is a benign disease, patients should also pay attention, because if the disease continues to develop, it will increase the difficulty of follow-up treatment. Therefore, in order to ensure the health of patients, in addition to actively treating diseases, patients with liver cysts should also do the following things on weekdays.
1. Drink more water.
Drink plenty of water, and ensure that it is more than 2000 ml per day, because drinking plenty of water can enhance blood circulation, promote metabolism and promote the secretion of glands, especially digestive glands, pancreatic juice and bile.
2. Pay attention to warm work
Patients with liver cysts are most afraid of catching a cold. At this time, we should pay attention to keep warm, don't eat cold food, and have a good life rule. In addition, it is best to have half an hour of exercise time and insist on improving resistance for a long time.
3. It is forbidden to eat fried food.
Fried food has high cholesterol, and long-term consumption increases the burden on the liver. Three meals a day must be regularly and quantitatively, and the combination of meat and vegetables is reasonable. You can eat more foods with more vitamins, such as carrots and celery. Eating vegetables and fruits will supplement the nutrients that the body lacks and help the body recover.
Eat more red vegetables.
Red fruits and vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes, red dates and pitaya are recommended. In addition, be careful not to eat spicy food and reduce salt intake. The best diet plan is to eat more lean meat, beef and other foods rich in protein.
Most importantly, only a few liver cysts may be very large or secondary to infection, bleeding and torsion. These rare cases need surgical treatment. Other asymptomatic liver cysts do not need special concern. Their daily diet and work have no special influence on them. Do B-ultrasound regularly and just pay attention.
