What are the reasons for a hidden pain with hepatitis B?

Patient's question:

Liver area has a dull pain, when taking a nap in the afternoon and lying on the left side, the liver area is dull pain. Hello doctor, what is the cause of this?

Doctor's answer:

Hepatic pain is a common symptom in patients with hepatitis B. The main cause is the hepatitis B virus invading the liver, leading to varying degrees of inflammatory edema in liver cells. The entire liver swells, stretching the entire capsule tightly and affecting the sensory nerve endings on the capsule, thereby causing pain. Therefore, if you experience hepatic pain again, you must not ignore it. This is a stage of hepatitis B virus expansion, and if neglected, it can become very serious. Seek standardized treatment as soon as possible. If you need specific treatment guidance, feel free to ask me or communicate directly with me.
