<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe liver is one of the most hardworking but undervalued organs in the body. While much attention is given to heart health, weight loss, and glowing skin, it is the liver that performs approximately hundreds of essential functions. These include storing nutrients like sugar, minerals, and vitamins to fuel the body; controlling the production and excretion of cholesterol; producing bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and helps break down fats ^{1<\/sup><\/a>;^{<\/sup>and filtering out harmful substances, such as alcohol, medicines, and environmental factors}}^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Just like the heart, the liver can also be stressed; however, unlike heart problems that may show early signs, the symptoms of a distressed liver show up very late. The liver is stressed when it is overworked and becomes sluggish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do you understand if the liver is in distress? Here are 17 symptoms that may indicate your liver is under stress:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Skin Discolouration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"skin$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Skin discolouration may sometimes be linked to liver problems. If your skin colour changes to jaundice yellow or pale with a blue tinge, your nails or fingertips turn yellow, or you have yellowing of the eyes, it is advisable to visit a doctor. This change in colour occurs because the body is unable to flush out the toxins, which leads to bilirubin accumulating under the skin, causing skin discolouration ^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
2. Digestion Problems<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
$\"digestion$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Feel bloated frequently and have constipation too? Frequent indigestion may be associated with liver issues. With bloating, you may experience stomach pain as well ^{4<\/sup><\/a>. This happens because the bile is unable to break down the food during digestion.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}

Another important sign is Spider naevi. Spider naevi or angiomas are small clusters of blood vessels that form just beneath the skin, often spreading outward like a spider\u2019s legs. Angiomas typically appear red or purple in colour. These are often present in excessive numbers in people with liver disease.<\/p>\n Dr. M.G.

3. Pains and Body Aches<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The liver plays an essential role in filtering blood and supports the synthesis of many nutrients needed for good health. However, when the liver is stressed, it may affect the synthesis and delivery of nutrients to muscles, tissues and tendons. This may lead to symptoms such as muscle cramps, weakness, and fatigue ^{5<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>}
