Many clinical patients with hepatitis B experience pain in the liver area. Pain in the liver area indicates that the patient’s liver is damaged and needs to be treated actively, however, there are many causes of liver pain in hepatitis B patients. So why do hepatitis B patients feel pain in the liver area? Liver pain is one of the common symptoms of hepatitis B patients, usually chronic and continuous boring pain, accompanied by nausea, loss of appetite, general weakness, etc. In case of liver rupture, subperitoneal bleeding or blood entering the abdominal cavity through the peritoneum, severe liver pain may occur, accompanied by epigastric pressure, muscle tension and other signs of peritoneal irritation. The main reason why hepatitis B patients feel pain in the liver area lies in the pericardium of the liver. The organism has a self-protective instinct, and in order to protect the liver and to separate the liver envelope from other internal organs, the liver has a very thin envelope on its surface. This envelope is rich in painful nerves, which can cause pain no matter what the stimulus is. When infected with hepatitis B, the liver tissue becomes inflamed and congested with edema, causing the liver to swell up and strain the outer envelope, thus stimulating the nociceptive nerves and creating pain. Pain in the liver area is not a good phenomenon for hepatitis B patients, and it may be a possibility of fibrosis or even liver cancer in the liver. Therefore, patients with hepatitis B who experience pain in the liver area should go to the hospital in time for examination to clarify the specific condition and then give symptomatic treatment. What are the possible diseases that can cause pain in the liver area? 1. Depression Depression can also cause occasional pain in the liver area. There are many hepatitis B virus carriers with normal liver function, but always feel discomfort in the liver area and liver pain, which is considered to be an indicator of the patient’s psychological implication or non-specific liver disease. 2, liver disease In cirrhosis, hepatitis or fatty liver, the liver can course varying degrees of enlargement, which can cause pain or discomfort due to overexpansion and stretching of the liver envelope. In some cases, after acute hepatitis is cured or becomes chronic, there is still occasional pain in the liver area, which may be caused by adhesions between the liver envelope and its surrounding tissues in the acute phase. 3, organ tissue lesions near the liver area Organ lesions near the liver area can also cause discomfort and pain in the liver area, such as cholecystitis, gallstones and so on. The most common cause is cholecystitis. 4, lower immunity Long-term recurrent liver pain can seriously affect the health of patients, is the body’s immunity is reduced. Liver pain can also lead to loss of appetite and poor appetite, further endangering the health of the body. For things like cholecystitis, biliary disease, acute hepatitis, especially jaundiced hepatitis, etc. can also cause liver pain in hepatitis B patients, and patients with hepatitis B cannot ignore pain in the liver area caused by such etiologies, and should also actively go to the hospital for examination and treatment. In addition, psychological factors and other are also one of the causes of liver pain in hepatitis B patients. Some people do not feel any discomfort when they are not found to be infected with hepatitis B, but once they are found out, they tend to always feel painful discomfort in the liver area. In addition, hepatitis B patients often stay up late, diet is not reasonable, eat food that is stimulating to the liver will also appear liver pain symptoms, for such causes of liver pain, hepatitis B patients as long as good regulation, liver pain symptoms will disappear. Pain in the liver area during liver disease is usually not necessary to take painkillers, and will gradually disappear as the liver disease gets better through rest, proper nutrition and appropriate treatment.
