10 Warning Signals of Liver Damage You Should Not Ignore

Liver damage is one of those afflictions that happens to almost every adult above the age of 40. It is a sign that you are not taking care of your body. But, do we always understand the signs? No. Sometimes, we think it is because of the things we eat, but it goes way deeper than that. Liver damage can be potentially fatal, depending upon the severity of it. Interestingly, your body keeps warning you about it. So, why not listen to it?

Here are signs that you should look out for liver damage:

SWELLING OF THE STOMACH

One of those signs that hint at liver damage. Although, you need to properly realize the place it swells. What you are looking for is the upper left part, just behind the ribcage. If that part swells, you can be sure of liver damage.

STOMACH PAIN

The swelling is accompanied by stomach pain. It occurs just below the swelling and happens in intervals. If it gets beyond your suffering limit and you feel that your stomach is about to burst, go see a specialist immediately.

EXHAUSTION

Another definite indicator of liver damage. This happens because your liver isn’t being allowed to process all the toxins and yet the body needs to work more. This leads to exhaustion.

WOUNDS

The amount of protein starts decreasing in the body for the liver starts fizzling. This results in the blood not being able to thicken, thus leading to more wounds, which refuse to heal. Also, there is a direct correlation between people with liver problems and blood issues. People with liver problems have a lesser platelet count, which doesn’t allow their wounds to clot.

QUEASINESS

This is another indicator. People feel queasy when their liver refuses to work and this sickness lasts for a long time. Sometimes, it gets too much to bear and can also be fatal. What is needed at this point is a quick visit to the doctor, who would help you deal with it.
