When people go to the toilet, they will think of abnormal conditions at the first time, it is caused by improper diet or gastrointestinal problems, and they never think that after liver problems, they will also cause abnormal defecation.
In fact, the liver is also one of the digestive systems, and when the liver has a lesion, it may also be reflected through abnormal bowel movements.
Only attentive people will discover the condition and go to the hospital for treatment.
After liver disease, it may cause the following three abnormalities of bowel movements!
1. The time of defecation changes
Most people defecate at a relatively fixed time period, such as some people who are accustomed to having a bowel movement in the morning or evening.
If you find that you have often had a bowel movement in an irregular period of time recently, want to defecate, or often have symptoms of diarrhea, you should be alert to gastrointestinal or liver problems.
The reason why the liver causes diarrhea is mainly because the liver cannot synthesize proteins smoothly, resulting in insufficient secretion of digestive enzymes and reducing digestive function.
When hepatitis worsens, it will also cause erosion of the intestinal mucosa, affecting the absorption function of the intestine, coupled with increased intestinal pressure, the probability of diarrhea will increase.
As liver function decreases in patients with liver disease, immunity also becomes weaker and weaker.
In this case, the body can not better resist bacteria or viruses, the intestines by bacteria or virus infection will be, causing bacterial enteritis or viral enteritis, so that patients frequent diarrhea.
2. The color of the stool is black
The color of the stool discharged by normal people should be earthy yellow, if the stool that is usually discharged has no abnormal color, but the recent stool has become black, it is necessary to be vigilant against gastrointestinal or liver problems.
In particular, people with cirrhosis or liver cancer are more likely to have this condition.
Early cirrhosis does not cause people to discharge black stools, and when the cirrhosis of the liver develops to an advanced stage, it may cause the patient to have varicose veins in the esophagus and gastric base, resulting in rupture and bleeding of veins. This accumulation of blood mixes with the intestines into the stool, and after metabolism, it turns black.
The reason why liver cancer patients excrete black stools is that the liver is invaded by cancer cells, which may rupture and bleed after the cancer cells have violated the liver tissue. Because the blood stays in the intestine for too long, is repeatedly digested and broken down, it turns black.
3. The odor of stool is abnormal
The liver is the detoxification organ of the human body, if the liver has a problem, the toxin can not be smoothly removed, so some patients will find that their stool becomes abnormally smelly.
Moreover, the body metabolism of liver disease patients is low, harmful substances in the body can not be discharged in time, long time in the body fermentation and then with the feces excreted, will make people smell obvious liver odor.
After people have finished defecating, they may wish to pay attention to the stool they are discharging. If an abnormal situation is found, it is necessary to be vigilant and go to the hospital in time to receive the corresponding examination. If you find that there is a problem with the liver, you should treat it in time, and you should also maintain the liver during the treatment period.
For example: eat more high vitamin, high-protein foods that are good for the liver, but also stay away from alcohol, sleep on time at night, create more opportunities for liver cells to repair and regenerate, after a period of time, the liver's condition can be improved.
