Symptoms of liver problems

In life, many people ignore the health of their liver. With the accelerated pace of life today, many people think that hepatitis B is a more serious disease. In fact, when there is something wrong with the liver, people will first show jaundice. The most obvious symptom is yellowing of the skin. The complexion looks different from that of normal people, the appetite becomes very poor, and one feels tired and has no strength. Adequate rest is needed to relieve the symptoms.

Symptoms of hepatitis B that are easily ignored:

1. Jaundice: Jaundice is the most easily discovered symptom of hepatitis B. Generally, jaundice in hepatitis B patients is caused by abnormal liver function and elevated bilirubin. Therefore, when hepatitis B patients develop jaundice, the first thing to think about is whether there is a problem with the liver. Therefore, it is most important to go to a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible.

2. Poor appetite: It is suspected that the poor appetite is caused by stomach problems. Generally, poor digestion is very common in clinical practice, but severe hepatitis B patients may also experience anorexia of greasy food, nausea, and vomiting. However, since the symptoms are similar to stomach problems, they are difficult to detect.

3. Fatigue and weakness: Fatigue and weakness are one of the early manifestations of hepatitis B patients, and even after adequate rest, the feeling of fatigue cannot be eliminated.

A small number of patients in the latent period of hepatitis B will initially experience abdominal distension, abdominal pain or diarrhea, followed by nausea and yellow urine. At this time, they should seek medical attention promptly to rule out liver disease first, especially anicteric hepatitis B, and then consider other conditions. Generally speaking, the initial symptoms of hepatitis B during the incubation period are similar to those of a cold and are particularly easy to misdiagnose and ignore, such as fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, aversion to oil, and even a mild cough, low fever, and general discomfort.

In addition, patients in the latent period of hepatitis B sometimes also experience stomach discomfort, which is easily misdiagnosed as stomach disease. Therefore, if symptoms such as indigestion, loss of appetite, fatigue, dry mouth, itchy skin, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and memory loss are found, liver function should be checked for confirmation.

Hepatitis B patients must understand that they can work if they have hepatitis B, but they should not overwork themselves and should make sure they get enough rest. In daily life, in addition to active treatment and a healthy diet, hepatitis B patients should avoid overwork and it is best not to do physical work. If physical work must be done, it should not be excessive and proper rest should be taken. When the condition is stable, it is recommended to combine work and rest, work without feeling tired or nauseous, have a regular daily routine, and do not easily break a good life routine. If the condition is fluctuating, it is best to rest in bed and recuperate.
