Mr. Lu is 36 years old and works in a large IT company in Shenzhen. The work pressure is quite high, but the salary is good.
Six months ago, Mr. Lu discovered that he had spider moles on his chest. In addition, he had a history of basic hepatitis B disease and his palms were red. He went to the hospital for examination at the suggestion of his family.
After an investigation, he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer!
1. Many people's liver diseases are "dragged" out
Liver diseases are not uncommon in China. Various liver diseases such as fatty liver, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and liver cancer have troubled many people. In fact, many people's liver diseases are dragged out.
The liver has a strong regenerative capacity, and has 500 functions, and can carry out hundreds of chemical reactions, but the liver has no pain-sensing nerves, so even if the liver is damaged, it is difficult to feel the liver damage.
In daily life, frequent drinking, long-term intake of high-fat food, drug abuse and other behaviors may cause liver damage and induce some liver diseases.
2. If there are 4 abnormalities in the hands, or the liver is calling for help
After the liver is damaged, it will send out distress signals through different parts of the body. If the following abnormalities appear after the injury, it may be the distress signal sent by the liver.
1. Appearance of red spider nevus
If you find a spider-like red vascular nevus on your hand, the color in the middle will turn white when you press hard, and the color will turn red after removing the pressure, then you should be careful that it is a spider nevus, which is a major signal of liver damage.
2. Palm turns red
The palm of a normal person should be evenly pale pink. If you find obvious redness and erythema in the thenar area of the palm, it is a typical liver palm, which means that the liver is damaged.
3. Nails turn white
White nails may generally indicate that you have hepatitis B. Once you are caught by hepatitis B, the liver's blood storage function will be affected, and even the blood supply to the extremities will be affected, and the nails will turn white.
4. Pale palms
In addition to red palms being a symptom of liver damage, pale palms may also represent liver abnormalities.
3. To protect the liver, do 5 less things
Since the liver has no pain-sensing nerves, even if it is damaged, there will be no obvious symptoms. It will be too late when symptoms appear. What we can do is to protect the liver from our daily life and avoid the following things that hurt the liver.
1. Alcoholism
Alcoholism and frequent drinking are likely to increase the burden on the liver, and even induce alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic cirrhosis, and so on.
2. Overworked, often staying up late
Overwork and often staying up late may cause the liver to miss the best time to nourish the liver, fail to repair smoothly, and even induce liver disease.
3. A high-fat diet
Regularly eating a high-fat diet is likely to lead to excessive accumulation of liver fat and even induce fatty liver.
4. Blind medication
No matter what kind of medicine it is, it must be taken under the doctor's advice. Misuse of medicine is likely to increase the burden on the liver and even cause liver damage.
5. Irritability, depression
Anger hurts the liver, and irritability and depression are likely to affect liver function and induce abnormal liver function.
Most people's liver disease is protracted, usually when symptoms related to liver disease appear, they should be vigilant and seek medical treatment as soon as possible. To protect the liver, it is usually best to avoid alcoholism, overwork, frequent staying up late, greasy diet, blind medication, etc., and have a good attitude.
