Patient's question:
I am 38 years old and have recently felt that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I've been feeling stomach pain. I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it's a liver disease. They advised me to get an injection. Could you please explain the difference between liver cysts and liver abscesses?Doctor's answer:
Hepatic abscess is a liver disease caused by various microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Clinically, it is characterized by fever and persistent liver pain. If not treated promptly, it may lead to death. Hepatic cyst is a common benign disease in the liver, most of which are congenital. It grows slowly, and most of them are asymptomatic. It is recommended to perform regular follow-up examinations and closely monitor the condition.
