Unknown early symptoms of liver cirrhosis

　　In recent years, liver cirrhosis has become a common disease in the hepatobiliary department, causing people to worry. Therefore, it is urgent to prevent liver cirrhosis. How to understand the early symptoms of liver cirrhosis in advance? The editor will take you to understand together.

　　1. Thin face, dark face

　　1/3 of the patients with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis have a thin, withered face, dark skin around the face, dilated small blood vessels on the cheeks, and dry lips, which is "liver". This is due to liver dysfunction, which results in increased melanin production.

　　2. The breasts expand and contract, and the testicles

　　The liver plays a role in blood sex hormone balance. As a result, cirrhosis increases estrogen, decreases androgen, and in men, enlargement, pain, and testicular atrophy occur. In women, when sex hormones are disordered, it will also cause menstrual disorders, decrease and sparseness.

　　3. Spider nevus, cinnabar palm

　　Patients with liver cirrhosis often face the neck, chest, shoulders, forearms and hands with some enlarged skin arterioles and small branches radiating around them. They are shaped like a small spider and are bright red. Pressing the center point of the mole with a pen, rod or needle can make the mole and surrounding branches disappear. This is a spider nevus. This is due to liver function. Spider nevi appear, to some extent, as a marker of chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis of the liver, but not specifically. Spider nevus can also be seen in 40% of normal women during menstruation and pregnancy. In addition, spider nevus can also be seen in patients with vitamin deficiency, rheumatoid arthritis, and some healthy people.
