Liver function is mainly caused by hepatocyte damage, mild hepatocyte damage does not cause liver function decline, and when liver function is reduced, it means that hepatocyte damage is serious, and there may even be extensive hepatocyte necrosis. At this time, it will have a significant impact on the secretion, metabolism, synthesis, detoxification, immunity and other functions of the liver.
As the saying goes: to nourish the liver is to nourish life. But in today's life, with the change of living habits, people's smoking, alcoholism, staying up late, eating fat and other behaviors will lead to liver damage. Some people say that the liver doesn't hurt. But in fact, once the function of the liver begins to decline, there are several places on the body that will cause pain, so let's take a look.
Liver function is reduced, and these areas may be painful.
1.Pain in the abdomen.
The liver is located in the upper right side of the abdomen, which can cause abdominal discomfort and pain when liver function is reduced. The pain may appear in the liver area or may radiate to the back or shoulders as a dull or dull ache. Severe liver function reduction may lead to persistent pain in the liver area, and even percussion and swelling in the liver area.
2.Pain in the right shoulder.
When the liver becomes cancerous, the pressure on the diaphragm muscle increases, which involves the nerves in the right shoulder, causing pain in the right shoulder. There is a certain difference between right shoulder pain caused by liver cancer and frozen shoulder, and the right shoulder pain caused by liver cancer generally has no obvious pain point, and activities are not restricted. Some people radiate to the left side or to the back and shoulders, and the back feels heavier.
3.Joint pain.
Decreased liver function leads to the accumulation of toxins in the body, affecting the metabolism and function of bones and muscles, causing muscle soreness, joint pain, osteoporosis and other problems. Patients may experience symptoms such as general malaise, muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and in severe cases, fractures and bone pain.
The pain caused by liver dysfunction is mainly due to the impaired metabolism and detoxification function of the liver, which leads to the accumulation of toxins in the body, affecting the normal functioning of various systems of the body. Therefore, for the pain caused by liver dysfunction, in addition to the pain symptoms, it is more important to actively ** the causes of liver function decline, including improving lifestyle, adjusting dietary habits, avoiding bad habits such as alcohol and smoking, and at the same time cooperate with the doctor's **plan to standardize ** and ** training, so as to restore the normal function of the liver, reduce pain symptoms, and improve the quality of life.
It is important to note that these pains are not necessarily caused by a bad liver, as many other factors can also contribute to these symptoms. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and complete your tests.
