10. Abnormal Bruising or Bleeding: When Clotting Goes Awry
Liver cancer patients may experience abnormal bruising or bleeding, which can be attributed to the liver’s impaired ability to produce clotting factors. The liver plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process, and when its function is compromised by cancer, patients may experience a higher tendency to bruise or bleed more easily.
This symptom can manifest in various ways, including excessive bleeding from minor cuts, nosebleeds, or even spontaneous bruising. It is essential to consult a healthcare professional if you notice abnormal bruising or bleeding, as it could indicate liver cancer or other liver-related conditions.
Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage the underlying cause and prevent potentially dangerous complications associated with excessive bleeding or bruising. In some cases, treatments such as blood transfusions or medications to improve clotting may be necessary to address this symptom. (10)
