As a very important metabolic organ in the human body, the liver also plays a role in helping the body detoxify and digest.
However, the liver is prone to damage due to some undesirable behavioral factors, such as long-term drinking, indiscriminate medication, excessive staying up late, poor mood and infections, which will reduce liver function.
Once the liver has a problem, if there is no timely treatment and conditioning, the risk of developing cirrhosis, liver fibrosis and even liver cancer in the later stage will increase many times.
So no matter what kind of people it is, in addition to doing a good job of protecting the liver in daily life. In addition, once the liver problems occur, they must be treated quickly. So, when the liver has a problem, what are the specific manifestations of the body?
What are the symptoms of the body if the liver is in trouble?
1. Symptoms of metabolic disorders
The liver is an organ whose main function is metabolism and can maintain the metabolism of vitamins. Once the liver has problems, it will lead to the synthesis, storage and utilization of vitamins, resulting in vitamin deficiency symptoms, such as the body's bones, skin, immune system, blood vessels, vision and other parts, there will be abnormalities.
In addition, the liver can also participate in the inactivation of hormones in the human body and maintain the normal metabolism of hormones. If the male liver has problems, it will lead to male hormone imbalance, resulting in breast development, testicular atrophy, as well as decreased libido, impotence and other phenomena. If the female liver has problems, it will cause estrogen imbalance in the body, resulting in menstrual irregularities and other problems.
2. Gastrointestinal symptoms
The liver can make large amounts of bile, and this bile is transported to the gallbladder, which has the function of helping to digest food. Once the liver has problems, it is unable to secrete and excrete bile normally, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and lead to slower digestive function. Patients will recur postprandial fullness, decreased appetite, indigestion, as well as bloating, abdominal pain and other phenomena.
In addition, fats that enter the body need to be absorbed and digested by the bile salts secreted from the liver. Once the liver has a problem, the secreted bile will be greatly reduced, and the fat entering the small intestine will not be quickly digested and absorbed, resulting in anorexia or repeated steatorrhea.
Third, physical decline
The liver can decompose and excrete some metabolites in the body, and some drugs, alcohol and other toxic substances that enter the body must be decomposed and metabolized in the liver.
If the liver has problems and is unable to perform its detoxification function, a large number of toxins will accumulate in the body. These toxins will enter various parts of the body, and the function of various organs will decline, causing people to have excessive fatigue and lack of energy.
Fourth, repeated body bleeding
The coagulation factors in the human body are manufactured by the liver, and once the liver has problems, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis or liver cancer, it will make the coagulation function disorder, and it is easy to cause abnormal bleeding in the body. For example, when brushing teeth, there will be continuous bleeding of the gums, or there will be repeated nosebleeds.
All in all, if you often have the above four symptoms, and your face is dull and dull, as well as problems such as jaundice and malnutrition, you must quickly go to a regular hospital for liver examination.
If it is determined that it is caused by some liver disease, it is necessary to take the corresponding methods for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and to do a good job of diet, mood and other aspects of conditioning, in order to effectively maintain liver health.
