What are the symptoms and treatment options for esophageal cancer?

Dear daulato devi ji,

Aapke bataye symptoms ko lightly nahi lena chahiye. Agar khane ki nali (esophagus) mein cancer hai aur ab solid food bilkul nahi ja raha, sirf liquid ja raha hai aur vomiting bhi ho rahi hai, to jaldi se cancer specialist/gastroenterologist se evaluation karwana bahut zaroori hai. Esophageal cancer mein tumor food pipe ko narrow ya block kar sakta hai, jiski wajah se swallowing aur vomiting ki problem badh sakti hai. 

Abhi sabse zaroori kya karein

1. Patient ko jitni jaldi ho sake oncology hospital mein dikhayein. Sirf homeopathy par depend karke treatment delay na karein.

2. Agar liquid bhi nahi ruk raha, baar-baar vomiting ho rahi hai, ya patient bahut weak/dehydrated ho raha hai, to emergency department mein le jayein.

3. Doctor endoscopy, biopsy report, CT/PET-CT aur blood tests dekhkar cancer ka stage aur blockage ki severity assess kar sakte hain.

4. Agar food pipe bahut narrow ho gayi hai, doctor stent/dilation jaise options consider kar sakte hain, jisse swallowing improve ho sakti hai.

5. Agar muh se sufficient nutrition nahi mil pa raha, feeding tube ya other nutritional support ki zarurat pad sakti hai.

6. Cancer ke stage aur patient ki overall health ke according chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, endoscopic treatment ya surgery mein se suitable treatment decide kiya ja sakta hai. 

Ghar par kya precaution rakhein

• Zabardasti solid food khilane ki koshish na karein.

• Agar doctor ne liquid lene ki permission di hai, to chhote-chhote sips dein.

• Khate-peete waqt patient ko seedha bithayein.

• Khane ke turant baad na litaayein.

• Apni taraf se painkiller, herbal medicine ya koi remedy start na karein.

• Dehydration aur weight loss par special attention dein.

• Agar swallowing ke waqt khansi ya saans phoolna ho, doctor ko batayein, kyunki food/liquid lungs mein jaane ka risk ho sakta hai. 

Kab turant emergency mein le jana hai

Agar patient liquid bhi swallow nahi kar pa raha, continuous vomiting ho rahi hai, khoon ki vomiting ho, saans lene mein dikkat ho, severe chest pain ho, behoshi/confusion ho, ya bahut zyada weakness/dehydration ho, to wait na karein turant emergency care lein.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
