The liver is the largest digestive organ in the human body, mainly metabolic function, and can play a role in making and secreting bile, and can also help the body detoxify.
However, the liver is easily stimulated by some drugs, alcohol and infections, resulting in impaired function, which induces various liver diseases. Because there are no rich nerves in the liver, patients do not have more obvious pain in the liver area when suffering from some liver diseases.
However, there are three more obvious changes in the patient's mouth, and this change has the characteristics of persistence and progressive exacerbation. Therefore, once these symptoms are detected, the patient must be admitted to the hospital as soon as possible.
What abnormalities in the mouth are associated with liver disease?
First, repeated dry mouth bitterness
The liver can secrete and excrete bile, helping the body digest some food. However, after suffering from liver disease, it is impossible to excrete bile normally.
The body's digestive function will be relatively reduced, resulting in a rapid decline in digestive function, which can easily induce bile reflux. Once the bile regurgitates into the mouth, it will cause the patient to have repeated bitterness.
Especially when sleeping at night, the body is lying flat, and it is easy to regurgitate into the esophagus and the inside of the mouth, which causes obvious bitterness.
In addition, due to some liver diseases can lead to a decline in digestive function, the gallbladder, spleen will also be affected accordingly, resulting in bile fever or spleen deficiency.
Then patients are very likely to have more obvious symptoms of repeated dry mouth and tongue, especially when suffering from hepatitis B, which will be very obvious.
2. Stubborn bad breath
After suffering from some liver diseases, liver function will be abnormal, resulting in toxins and metabolites entering the body can not be broken down and metabolized in time, and will accumulate in the body.
Toxins will flow into the body with blood circulation, and the proportion of ammonia and urea nitrogen in the blood will increase rapidly, and amines will be excreted through the human nose or mouth, which will cause patients to have a more obvious odor, such as putrid odor.
This type of bad breath is stubborn and cannot be eliminated even if you keep brushing your teeth.
3. Repeated oral bleeding
For example, when suffering from cirrhosis, due to abnormal liver function, a large number of clotting factors are lacking in the body, so that patients have abnormal bleeding.
Moreover, the patient's capillary fragility will also increase, which can easily cause abnormal bleeding in patients. For example, there are repeated gastrointestinal bleeding, nosebleeds, and oral bleeding.
Especially in the gum area of the patient, repeated bleeding occurs. For example, when brushing teeth, rinsing, or eating some food, abnormal bleeding will occur in the gums of patients.
And this phenomenon of oral bleeding will occur repeatedly, without any regularity to speak of.
All in all, if you repeatedly appear the above three symptoms in your mouth in your daily life, and you will suffer from repeated indigestion, diarrhea, bloating, anorexia, and dark or yellowish complexion, it is generally caused by a series of liver diseases.
Then patients must go to the regular hospital for the first time for corresponding examinations, if it is determined that some liver disease is caused, they need to receive regular treatment in time and do a good job in all aspects of daily care, in order to maximize the maintenance of liver health.
