Hepatitis: it is due to inflammation of liver caused by many factors, which will stimulate the edema and enlargement of liver tissues, and the edema of liver will compress the peripheral nerves, leading to the symptom of vague pain in liver area. 2. Cirrhosis: Cirrhosis will lead to the enlargement of the liver, which will pull the peripheral membrane of the liver, and the tension of the peripheral membrane will lead to the symptom of vague pain in the liver area. 3. Hepatocellular carcinoma: Hepatocellular carcinoma will lead to infiltration of cancer cells into other tissues, which will press the nerves or other tissues, and then vague pain in liver area will appear. Hidden pain in liver area can also be seen in gallbladder stones, fatty liver and other diseases. If you have symptoms of hidden pain in liver area, you need to consult doctor for examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying your condition.
