There are 2 itching and blackening in 2 places on the body suddenly, which may be the manifestation of liver damage. Be vigilant!
When I often hear the promotion of some health products or beauty institutions, they all claim that they can excrete excess toxins from the human body and make the body healthier!
But in fact, this kind of propaganda steals the concept of "toxin". The so-called toxins from the human body are actually various metabolic wastes, and the human body has a complete detoxification and detoxification system. For example, the liver is a part of the detoxification system. !
Although the liver is responsible for detoxification, almost all the harmful substances produced in the human body need to be decomposed and metabolized by the liver. However, the liver itself is very fragile, and many factors can cause liver damage, such as long-term heavy drinking, viral infection, unhealthy diet, etc., and eventually induce various chronic liver diseases.
Moreover, because the liver is known as a "stupid big man" in the medical field, because it has no pain nerves and has strong "working ability", early chronic liver disease will not have severe pain, so other abnormal manifestations are often used by patients. Neglect, or mistakenly believe that other diseases have appeared, thus delaying treatment.
However, if your body suddenly has symptoms such as 2 itching and 2 blackening, it may be a manifestation of liver damage, and you need to be vigilant!
One or two itching
- Itchy skin: Itchy skin caused by chronic liver disease is often accompanied by symptoms of jaundice of varying degrees. Here we should mention a metabolite called bilirubin, which needs to be metabolized in the liver and synthesize bile, which is also The main pigment of bile.
However, when the liver function is damaged, it can cause abnormal bilirubin metabolism. When it travels with the blood, the patient will have jaundice, and a large amount of bile salts will also accumulate under the skin, irritating peripheral nerves, resulting in itching symptoms;
Abnormal itching of the eyes: In most cases, itching of the eyes is related to bacterial infection, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis and other diseases, which can cause itching symptoms. However, from the perspective of TCM, dry and itchy eyes and photophobia are also manifestations of liver damage, because TCM believes that the liver opens the eyes to the eyes. When the liver is damaged and the liver blood is insufficient, various eye discomforts can be induced.
Two places become black
Large dark circles: The quality of sleep has been very high recently, and there is no problem of staying up late, but there is too much melanin deposited around the eyes, which looks like a panda, which requires attention to liver disease!
Because the liver itself also participates in the endocrine function of the body, when the liver function is damaged, it can cause endocrine disorders, resulting in a large amount of melanin accumulation in the weak skin, and the skin around the eyes is the weakest, which can induce panda eye symptoms over time;
- Facial darkening: Recently, the facial skin is getting worse and worse, not only dry, but also very dull, and even a "bronze face" appears, which is actually a typical "liver disease face", which usually appears in liver cirrhosis, moderate in patients with advanced liver cancer.
This is the same mechanism as the appearance of dark circles. It is due to endocrine disorders, strong estrogen secretion, and increased tyrosinase content, which lead to the deposition of melanin on the face. Some patients may also experience adrenal insufficiency, resulting in the production of a large amount of melanin.
Although the above symptoms may be related to liver disease, symptoms alone cannot determine liver disease! This is just a signal sent by the disease, so further examinations are needed, including liver CT, color Doppler ultrasound, and liver function screening. Once diagnosed with chronic liver disease, it should be treated scientifically and actively.
