The liver is the largest metabolic and detoxification organ in the human body, and it is also an important guarantee for the stability of the body's digestive function, circulatory system and immune system. In traditional medicine, the liver has the function of storing qi and blood, calming the nerves and helping sleep.
However, the liver is also one of the few large organs in the body that lacks pain nerves, which means that even if there is a liver lesion, it is difficult to detect it in the first place.
What's more, even though the liver function has gradually declined, he still does not leave his cigarettes and alcohol, until he develops into liver cancer, fatty liver and other serious diseases.
Therefore, it is very important to reasonably understand whether your liver is healthy, and if there are 4 conditions frequently at night, it may be that the liver is "alarming", don't take it seriously.
1. Femoral muscle
According to medical analysis, calf cramps at night are mostly related to decreased blood calcium concentration and high blood lipid concentration.
The liver is an important tissue in the human body to decompose and utilize fat, and the bile secreted by the liver and released through the gallbladder is a lysate of lipids, which can quickly decompose macromolecular fat particles and make them easier to be metabolized.
If there is a problem with liver function, the amount of bile secretion will decrease, which will increase the concentration of fat in the blood, reduce the rate of calcium absorption and utilization, and eventually cause cramps in the human body.
2. Difficulty falling asleep at night
In addition to external environmental interference, frequent insomnia, dreaming, and waking up at night may also be related to liver health.
When there is an excess of liver fire in the body, the nerve plexus near the liver capsule may be stimulated and the generated electrical signals are transmitted to the nerve center, which in turn causes the cerebral cortex to be overexcited, and eventually makes it difficult for the person to sleep.
In addition, friends with poor liver function will also have abnormal hormone secretion, such as a decrease in the level of melatonin, which plays an important role in sleep, which will also make it more difficult to fall asleep.
3. Feeling stomach discomfort at night
Many friends may often have stomach pain and gastrointestinal discomfort before falling asleep, but when they go to the toilet, there is no actual content.
This may also be a symbol of a slippery slope in liver function. The liver has a great impact on the digestion of fats, and friends with unsound liver function, if they consume too much oil during dinner, there is a probability that lipids will accumulate too much in the stomach and intestines, and cause flatulence, nausea, acid reflux and other conditions at night.
4. Pain in the right abdomen
Although the liver itself lacks pain nerves, it has certain peripheral neurons outside the capsule. If the liver is hardened or enlarged, these nerves may be pinched, which may cause labor pain.
In addition, when the liver disease progresses, it may also pull on the peripheral nerves and muscle tissue, causing general, intermittent pain in the right half of the body.
In short, although the liver is a "silent" organ, it is able to give feedback on its health in other ways. In daily life, paying more attention to your physical condition may be able to avoid the risk of disease worsening. When you are sure that you are unwell, please try to seek medical attention in time to prevent it from happening.
