Patient's question:
I have gallstones and discovered a small, hard and rough area on my liver. What are the symptoms?Doctor's answer:
General Symptoms: Fatigue, easy tiredness, and decreased physical strength.Early Stage Liver Cirrhosis and Chronic Digestive Disorders: Decreased appetite, abdominal pain or accompanied by constipation, nausea and vomiting, or dull pain in the liver area, which becomes more pronounced after exertion.
Signs of Early Stage Liver Cirrhosis: Very few patients may have spider nevi, mild to moderate liver enlargement, more common in alcoholic liver cirrhosis patients, generally without tenderness. The liver may be normal or slightly swollen.
Conclusion: Due to the lack of obvious symptoms in the early stages of liver cirrhosis, it is often easily confused with existing chronic liver diseases or overlooked by patients. Therefore, chronic hepatitis patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations and must not take it lightly. For severe liver cirrhosis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor’s advice for early treatment.
