Patient's question:
Sometimes there is dull pain in the liver area, but it's not very severe. There is bitter taste in the mouth, and the tongue coating is relatively thick and white. Sometimes I feel tired, but my appetite is good, and deep sleep is also good. There are some small red spots on the neck and chest, but they are not spider angiomas; they are just small, round spots, and I don't know if they are related to poor liver health. Is this a symptom of liver cirrhosis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you undergo a liver ultrasound examination for further diagnosis. Cirrhosis refers to the hardening of the liver. It is a chronic, progressive diffuse change in the liver caused by various reasons. It results from one or more causes repeatedly and chronically damaging liver cells, leading to liver cell degeneration and necrosis. After widespread liver cell degeneration and necrosis, connective tissue regeneration occurs within the liver, followed by diffuse fibrosis of fibrous tissue. Simultaneously, liver cell regeneration occurs, forming regenerative nodules. The normal structure of liver lobules and blood vessels is destroyed, forming pseudolobules.
