Many people will doubt whether they have hepatitis B at the slightest discomfort and go to the hospital for a check-up to find out the results. However, some people are often too careless and only go for check-up when they develop liver and ascites, delaying treatment. Below, Xu Xing, director of liver disease at Jingjiang Yimin Liver Disease Research Institute, explains the symptoms of hepatitis B in detail.
1. Systemic Symptoms
Patients with hepatitis B often feel weak, easily fatigued, and unable to cheer up. The reason for this may be not only pathological reasons caused by impaired liver function, but also pathological reasons. It is caused by increased lower body energy consumption, reduced food intake, impaired food digestion and absorption, and insufficient nutrient intake to meet the body's needs. On the other hand, in addition to physical pain, hepatitis B-infected patients may also suffer systemic symptoms due to poor mental state and depression caused by external mental and psychological pressure.
2. Gastrointestinal symptoms
The liver is an important digestive organ, and the bile secreted by the liver is necessary for food digestion. In liver disease, bile secretion is affected, which affects the digestion and absorption of food. Symptoms of hepatitis B such as loss of appetite, nausea, aversion to oil, upper abdominal discomfort, and bloating may occur.
3. Jaundice
The liver is the key to bilirubin metabolism. When the condition is severe, the bilirubin metabolism dysfunction of the liver will lead to an increase in the concentration of bilirubin in the blood and cause jaundice. When the concentration of bilirubin in the blood increases, bilirubin is excreted from the urine, making the urine darker. This is the earliest manifestation of jaundice. It should be noted that drinking too little water or certain drugs can also cause yellow urine, so you should pay attention to the difference. When the concentration of bilirubin in the blood continues to increase, it can cause jaundice in the eyes and skin. Severe jaundice can cause skin itching.
4. Pain in the liver area
Pain in the liver area is one of the main symptoms of hepatitis B. Hepatitis B generally does not cause severe pain. When the liver is inflamed and swollen, the liver capsule is tense and the pain nerves are stimulated, which can cause dull pain, dull pain, discomfort, etc. in the liver area. If the pain is severe, other diseases should be suspected.
5. Extrahepatic Manifestations
Due to long-term endocrine disorders, many patients with chronic hepatitis, especially liver cirrhosis, may have skin pigmentation or persistent or recurring jaundice, and biliverdin may be deposited in the skin, resulting in a dark and dull complexion. , called liver disease face. Spider-like capillary clusters ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters may appear on the patient's face, neck, chest, and back of hands. When pressed, they fade and are called spider nevus. Men may suffer from erectile dysfunction, symmetrical or asymmetrical breast hyperplasia, swelling and pain, and may even be misdiagnosed as breast cancer. Women who undergo mastectomy may suffer from menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, hypomenorrhea, etc. These may be related to decreased liver function, reduced estrogen inactivation, and increased estrogen in the body.
