When swallowing, the muscle wall of the esophagus will tighten or contract, thus pushing food and liquid from the mouth into the stomach. The glands in the submucosa of the esophagus produce mucus, which helps keep the esophagus moist and provides lubrication for swallowing. When canceration occurs in the esophagus, early very small tumors usually do not cause symptoms. As the tumor grows larger and the width of the esophagus narrows, patients often have difficulty swallowing.
It is normal for us to choke occasionally when we eat at ordinary times, but if we feel difficulty in eating and swallowing frequently and have a certain sense of adhesion, we should be vigilant, especially if the position of the esophagus has such a sense of adhesion, which may be a signal of esophageal cancer.
Granny Li, 76, from Jiayu Town, Xingyang City, Henan Province, was diagnosed with upper esophageal cancer, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and aortic atherosclerosis in 2019 due to heartburn, burping and swallowing obstruction. The local hospital performed minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer (endoscopic tumor resection) and placed a stent after the surgery.
Everyone in the family thought that it would be all right. Unexpectedly, after placing the stent for a period of time, Grandma Li felt unbearable pain and could not breathe freely. There was an ulcer at the place where the stent was placed that might cause perforation, so she took out the stent. Later, Granny Li went to the local hospital of traditional Chinese medicine to take Chinese medicine for a period of time, but there was no effect. Granny Li's dysphagia and choking are becoming more and more serious.
When at a loss, it was introduced that Chinese medicine in Jiaozuo Zhonghai Traditional Chinese Medicine Oncology Hospital was very effective in treating esophageal cancer. Grandma Li's daughter rushed to take her mother to seek medical treatment.
"Looking at my mother, I feel so helpless and painful. What should I do... Alas, my mother can only eat thin liquid food now, so I don't know what will happen in the future? I may not eat anything in the later stage. I thought to say that surgery and stent installation would solve the problem of eating, but now this method is not feasible. I really don't know what to do? Director Zhang, please save my mother!" Granny Li's daughter said.
Director Zhang Zhonghai said after mastering Grandma Li's condition and treatment process, "Don't worry, we have to deal with dozens of such patients every day. The treatment effect is very good, and we will try our best to cure them. I will give you 10 pairs of Chinese medicine to try."
The food was very smart. Grandma Li ate more smoothly day by day. She could eat rice and noodles, and her health was getting better day by day. After eating 20 Chinese herbs, I went to the local hospital for an examination. The esophagus was smooth and the meal was smooth. Everything was normal. The whole family was very happy.
During the whole process of diagnosis and treatment, Director Zhang Zhonghai adhered to the principle of tumor treatment with both attack and supplement. At the first diagnosis, the syndrome differentiation was that the symptoms accumulated in the valley and became choking diaphragm, the stomach qi went up, the water and valley were difficult to enter, the source of digestion would be cut off, it was urgent to eliminate cancer and loose nodes, benefit the spleen and stomach, and lower the qi and stop the er, and then adjust with the symptoms, benefit the qi and stomach, and the stomach qi would survive for many years.
