If you want to know if your body is still healthy, in addition to going to the hospital regularly for physical examinations, you can also observe the performance in daily life.
Especially for people who often smoke, if they obviously see signs of blackening in the following three parts, they must consider whether it is a distress signal for the arrival of liver disease, even if only one is noticed, they must quickly go to the hospital for liver CT examination.
1. The face color is black
If you are not exposed to external light for a long time, the color of the face is getting darker and darker, it is likely to be caused by impaired liver function, because the liver plays a metabolic role in our body, and substances that are not good for the human body need to be decomposed and detoxified by the liver.
However, once liver disease occurs, the detoxification function of the liver becomes weaker, the metabolic junk toxin will be hoarded for a long time, plus the liver itself contains iron, when it is injured, iron will flow into the blood vessels, and with the blood circulation to various parts, including the facial skin, so that the original rosy face will become dull and dull.
2. Black nails
As we all know, under normal circumstances, our nails are flesh pink and the surface is smooth.
However, if the edges of the nails have gradually become black in recent times, and there are also vertical stripes, it is also necessary to consider whether it is induced by abnormal liver function.
Because when liver disease occurs, blood circulation is obstructed, so that the fingers at the end of the limb cannot get enough blood to nourish, so there will be symptoms of abnormal color.
3. Black lips
When the black lips are mentioned, some people have preconceived notions that it is caused by cold, but if they add clothes in time, the color of the lips still does not change, and they are also vigilant about whether it is a distress signal for liver disease.
The reason is that the liver has the effect of decomposing toxins, but in the case of bad liver, it is impossible to discharge the toxins in the body in a relatively short period of time, and in the long run, a large number of toxins will accumulate and there will be consequences of blood stasis, which makes the color of the lips black.
So remind everyone, usually need to pay more attention to the changes in the lips, if there is a problem of purple hair black, do not just use lipstick to cover, otherwise it is easy to miss the best treatment time for the disease, it is recommended that you go to the hospital to do liver examination.
In fact, when liver disease occurs, in addition to the above three parts of the blackening, it may also be accompanied by the following two abnormalities.
1. Epigastric pain
Because the liver is located in the epigastric region, if there is an inexplicable problem with epigastric pain, it is also necessary to consider whether it is caused by liver lesions, especially after the liver disease progresses to a later stage, it is easy to pull into the liver envelope, making the abdomen tingling and swelling.
2. Decreased appetite
In addition to the loss of appetite associated with gastrointestinal diseases, liver disease is also a trigger, because the liver has the effect of secreting bile to promote food digestion;
However, if the liver function is impaired, the secretion of bile is reduced, and the food cannot be digested in time, so the patient will have a significant decrease in appetite.
All in all, for people who want to know whether the liver is healthy, they can also observe the lips, nails and faces mentioned above, if they suddenly have symptoms of blackening, they must consider whether the liver is damaged.
Especially those who are accompanied by symptoms such as decreased appetite and epigastric pain should pay more attention to it and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
