Recently, Xiaoli in Chongqing suffered a health crisis. Originally slender and weighing only more than 50 pounds, her abdomen gradually increased five years ago, and her weight soared to more than 0 pounds. She always thought she was just gaining weight and didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until the Spring Festival that I had symptoms such as dyspnea, and when I went to the hospital for an examination, I found a huge tumor weighing 0 catties hidden in my abdomen. Subsequently, Xiaoli was transferred to the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, where she successfully underwent surgery after full preoperative discussion among multiple departments.

Surprised! The woman's belly was as big as a bulge, and it was a tumor that was causing trouble

Xiaoli is a native of a district and county in Chongqing, working alone in a city thousands of miles away. She used to be slender, but her belly started to grow five years ago, and she felt that it was normal to gain weight, and she didn't take it to heart at all. Later, her belly got bigger and bigger, her weight increased sharply, and many people thought she was "pregnant", but she still didn't pay attention to it. It wasn't until symptoms such as dyspnea appeared that she went to the hospital during the Spring Festival, and after a check, she found that it was a huge tumor "making trouble" in her abdomen. After that, she was transferred to the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, where the doctors successfully removed the tumor for her after careful preparation.

Ignoring the physical changes, a health crisis crept in

Xiaoli regarded the enlargement of her abdomen as obesity, and did not seek medical attention in time, so that the condition dragged on for several years. In fact, ignoring changes in the body is extremely harmful. Medical studies have shown that early detection and treatment of tumors significantly improves cure rates and survival rates. Just like Xiaoli, if she had paid attention to it earlier, her condition would not have progressed to such a serious level. Many people always think that small changes in their body are small things, and as a result, the disease may quietly worsen and miss the best time for treatment.

Huge tumors are harmful and have serious damage to the body's functions

Giant tumors have severe effects on surrounding organs:

• It can compress blood vessels and affect blood circulation;
• Affect digestive function, make people eat poorly, poor digestion;
• It also has an impact on the respiratory system, just like Xiaoli's symptoms of difficulty breathing.

If it persists for a long time, the consequences are unimaginable, and may lead to serious complications such as intestinal obstruction, kidney failure, and even life-threatening. There have been other similar cases where the patient was not treated in time, and finally developed serious complications and was dying.

Regular check-ups are indispensable, and health hazards are known as early as possible

Regular check-ups can help us detect potential health risks at an early stage. Data from the National Health Commission shows that regular check-ups can improve the early detection rate of diseases. If Xiaoli can have regular physical examinations, maybe the tumor can be found when it is still small, and it will not develop into a huge tumor of 50 catties.

It is recommended that:

1. Perform a comprehensive medical examination once a year;
2. In particular, high-risk groups with a family history of cancer should pay more attention to physical examination.

Recognize early signs and proactively prevent tumors

Ovarian tumors or other pelvic tumors may have bloating, abdominal pain, anorexia, etc. in the early stages. If you have these symptoms, don't take them seriously and seek medical attention promptly.

To prevent tumors, we can do the following:

• Maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as eating a reasonable diet, exercising, and having a regular schedule;
• avoid long-term exposure to carcinogens;
• Women should have regular gynecological check-ups.

Everyone is the first person responsible for their own health, and they should take the initiative to pay attention to physical changes and seek medical attention in time if there is any abnormality.

Xiaoli's case reminds us to pay attention to any abnormal changes in our body, have regular physical examinations, seek medical attention in time, and protect the health of ourselves and our families.
