Which internal organ not only has the largest volume, but also takes on the most work? The answer is only two words: liver!
The liver is the largest of all the substantial internal organs present. Large size, naturally means that it undertakes relatively more work, although its main role is detoxification and metabolism, but its biotransformation function also involves the operation of many other systems, which include digestion and absorption, endocrine balance, blood clotting, etc., so in the field of health also has such a sentence: liver nourishment is to continue life!
Not only that, the health of the liver is also directly related to the operation of organs and functions throughout the body. It is also because the liver involves a wide range, so when the liver is sick, patients will have a number of different symptoms, such as digestive tract abnormalities, liver pain, coagulation disorders and so on. Sometimes there are abnormal symptoms of the skin, such as spider moles and liver palms, liver disease face, jaundice and so on.
So if you don't have similar symptoms, your body has the following three manifestations, indicating that your liver is still very healthy:
1. Strong digestion and operation
The liver is the most important digestive gland of the human body, which undertakes extremely complex nutrient synthesis and conversion, storage work, such as fat, glycogen, vitamins, etc. need to be synthesized and stored in the liver.
Not only that, the bile secreted by the liver is also a substance that the intestine cannot lack in absorbing fat and vitamins. Therefore, when the liver is sick, patients will have abnormal digestive tract symptoms, the most typical manifestations are indigestion, oil-averse nausea, bloating after meals, vomiting and diarrhea.
If you do not have similar symptoms, the food can be digested and absorbed smoothly, which not only shows that your stomach is very healthy, but also the liver is functioning normally;
2. The face is rosy and shiny
The human endocrine system is running all the time, and the excess hormones in the body will enter the liver with blood circulation after functioning, inactivated and metabolized, such as estrogen is one of them.
When the liver disease, especially after the severity, the patient's endocrine system will be affected, resulting in a large amount of melanin in the body, which will accumulate on the face under the action of estrogen after melanin production, resulting in the patient's dull and dull face, dry and rough skin, dark circles and other abnormal manifestations, which is clinically called "liver disease face".
If your face is rosy and shiny, there are no acne and acne, dark circles and other problems, indicating that the endocrine is very stable and the liver function is relatively good;
3. No pain in the liver area
In the presence of acute and chronic liver diseases, such as acute hepatitis B, cirrhosis, liver cancer and other diseases, patients may have different degrees of pain in the liver area, which is manifested by persistent dull pain, traction pain, and vague pain in the right upper quadrant.
This pain sensation is mainly related to liver hyperemia, liver deformation or cancerous formation to the surface of the liver envelope, the more serious liver disease, the more likely the patient is to have pain in the liver area. If you have never experienced pain in the liver area and have no other discomfort, your liver is still relatively healthy.
Of course, the point that needs to be emphasized here is that liver health cannot be absolutely judged by the presence or absence of physical symptoms alone. Because the liver is very compensatory and there is no peripheral nerve distribution, patients may not have any symptoms during the initial stage of damage.
Therefore, for people with a family history of liver disease, excessive sexual disorders, long-term alcoholism and other high-risk groups of liver disease, it is necessary not only to pay attention to physical changes, but also to conduct targeted liver function screening regularly.
