Liver health has become a matter of special concern to many people, because the liver, as the largest metabolic organ of the human body, once there is a problem, it is easy to cause toxins and waste products to accumulate in the body, which will not only affect liver function over time, but even cause some diseases in the body.
Therefore, in order to understand whether the liver is good or bad, in addition to understanding through examination, you can also observe the changes in this part of the body.
Where is the liver area located in the body?
To understand whether the liver is good or bad, then you should first know the location of the liver, from the medical anatomical map is not difficult to see, the liver is located in the right quarter rib area and the supra-ventral region, and most of the liver is covered by the rib arch.
Because there are many visceral nerves distributed in the liver area, once the liver is damaged, it is easy to have a more obvious pain.
In fact, it is not difficult to roughly understand the quality of the liver, if you find that you have "liver palms" or symptoms of yellow eyes, then it means that the liver has been diseased, and at this time, the liver area will also have a more obvious reaction.
Therefore, we must pay more attention to observing our bodies, and once there are abnormal changes, we should cause a high degree of vigilance, and actively go to regular hospitals for examination and treatment.
What are the specific manifestations of pain in the liver area?
1. Stuffy or tingling
Since the liver belongs to internal organs, it cannot be observed even after the lesion occurs, and the degree of liver damage or lesion can only be judged by some adverse manifestations on the body.
Once the liver has inflammation and damage, the manifestations of pain in the liver area are not the same, such as the patient has hepatitis disease, then the right rib located in the liver area will have some more obvious pain.
The reason is that hepatitis disease can cause liver congestion, which will appear swollen, and the liver envelope will also be adversely stimulated, which will cause swelling and pain. In addition, patients with hepatitis may also show stuffy pain, or there is a pinprick-like feeling in the liver area.
Especially after eating greasy food, it will also cause radiation pain in the back and shoulders, which means that the liver has been seriously damaged and the hepatitis disease has developed to a serious extent.
2. Persistent dull pain
In most cases, once suffering from liver cancer disease, almost more than half of patients will have obvious pain in the liver area.
The reason is that the tumor will compress the liver envelope during rapid growth, in which case there will be intermittent or persistent dull pain;
Of course, there will occasionally be a tingling or swelling sensation, and these pain sensations will show persistence, so after encountering this situation, you must seek medical treatment in time.
How to check the quality of the liver?
1. B ultrasound inspection
B ultrasound examination is one of the more commonly used liver examination methods, through this test can not only find the tumor site and size, but also the accuracy of diagnosing liver cancer diseases is also very high.
2. Alpha-fetoprotein
If the patient passes CT or B ultrasound examination and does not check whether he has a liver cancer disease, then for the sake of insurance, he should continue to do alpha-fetoprotein test to assist in diagnosis under the advice of the doctor, only in this way can he know whether he has liver cancer disease.
The above describes how to judge the quality of the liver, and what tests can be used to confirm liver disease under the premise that the liver is not able to test for itself.
In a strict sense, it is not easy to judge the quality of the liver and want to diagnose the diagnosis through self-examination, so once you find that there is pain in the liver area, then you should go to the hospital in time to do the examination, only in this way can you understand the quality of the liver.
