Liver has many functions in our body, such as deoxidation, storage of glycogen, protein synthesis and so on.

After entering the dog days of summer, the weather is hot and humid, which is most likely to lead to virus invasion and induce liver disease.

Dog days are the season when liver diseases are rampant and recur, so we must pay attention to the maintenance of the liver at ordinary times.

If there is "itching" in these two places, you must pay attention.

1, itchy skin

When there is a problem with our liver, there will be subtle manifestations in other parts of our body. The liver is damaged, which leads to bilirubin not being metabolized from the liver. If it continues, it will lead to a large amount of bilirubin accumulation, which is prone to jaundice. In severe cases, the skin will have itching symptoms.

This kind of itchy skin symptoms may also appear in patients with liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, and with the continuous deterioration of the disease, itching symptoms will also spread throughout the body.

During the deterioration of liver cirrhosis, neuroendocrine hormones in the body will be slowly metabolized, which will lead to high hormone concentration, which will lead to leg ulcers, urticaria and other symptoms for a long time. At this time, the skin will also have itching symptoms.

2, itchy eyes

If photophobia or dry and itchy eyes appear for a long time, it may be caused by liver damage.

According to Chinese medicine, the liver is the main eye. If the blood supply to the liver is insufficient, the eyes will lose enough blood to moisturize, which will lead to dryness, swelling, blurred vision, itching and other symptoms in the eyes. Some patients will also shed tears when they encounter a strong light source.

In this hot and humid season in dog days, we should first maintain a good attitude, appropriately relieve our pressure, maintain a normal heart, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and properly carry out physical exercise.

Diet is mainly high-quality protein, vitamins, cellulose and other foods, and the diet is light, avoiding indigestible food. Replenish enough water every day. Develop the good habit of going to the hospital for physical examination regularly.

If the patients with hepatitis B deal with edema, weight loss and bleeding, they must be sent to the doctor in time, and don't miss the best treatment period.
