As we all know, cirrhosis is a very serious chronic liver disease. If it is not properly controlled and treated in time, liver cirrhosis will develop to an advanced stage, and it may become cancerous due to the three major aspects of reduced liver function, repeated damage to liver cells, and low immunity!
What's even more terrifying is that liver cirrhosis comes silently, and our body will not feel any discomfort, and many people are at an advanced stage when they are checked. Although cirrhosis is not easy to reflect in the body's reaction, there are already some subtle changes in our skin, that is, "spider nevi"!
Spider angiomata, an important signal of cirrhosis
Moles are found on everyone's body, for example, the elderly in the family have a lot of moles, according to their older generation, it is "moles are more than blessed". As everyone knows, there is a small red mole (called "spider nevus" in medicine) that looks like a spider's web, and it is likely that there is a problem with the liver.
Spider angiomas are generally more likely to appear on the face, neck, chest and other places with dense capillaries.
It is similar in shape to a small red dot and resembles a thin spider's foot due to the radial capillaries around it.
If we press the center with our hands, the mole will disappear and when released, it will quickly return to its original shape.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the main reservoir of blood, and the appearance of a blood mole on the body often means that the liver meridian is blocked, and fat and phlegm are stagnant in the body.
The famous Chinese medicine book "Surgical Heart Method" also records: "The blood mole is like a mole at first, and gradually grows like a bean and its color is red, and the skin is broken and blood is flowed, and the liver meridian is angry and depressed." In other words, the cause of blood moles stems from "liver meridian anger and blood depression".
At the same time, spider angiomatas are also related to estrogen levels in the body. Because our estrogen metabolism takes place in the liver, when liver function is impaired, the liver's inactivation of estrogen is reduced, which causes arteriolar telangiectasia.
Therefore, if we find these "spider moles" on our body, we must be vigilant!
It is likely to be an important signal of weakened liver function, cirrhosis, and even the progression of liver cancer.
Especially when the following 4 types of people have spider nevi, don't be careless, it's best to check the liver health, and don't let the condition change or aggravate.
These 4 types of people should pay more attention to liver health
1. People who love to drink
Drinking hurts the liver, I don't know how many times I've heard it.
Alcohol has a direct toxic effect on the liver cells in the liver, so that the amount of fat in the liver is added, weakening the transport of fat in the liver, and hindering the differentiation and metabolism of fat in the liver, therefore, people who have been drinking for a long time are prone to liver cirrhosis.
Therefore, people who love to drink, once they find a "spider nevus", it is best to go for an examination, so as not to have cirrhosis of the liver without knowing it.
Of course, for the sake of health, it's better to quit drinking!
2. People with cholestasis
Cholestasis is not well excreted, which causes cirrhosis.
Bile stasis, that is, bile cannot be excreted into the intestine through the bile ducts, this situation will lead to liver cell damage, and liver cell damage will cause liver cirrhosis and liver fibrosis in severe cases.
Therefore, such people, once they see spider nevi, do not bother to check them.
3. People with viral hepatitis
The most important patients with liver cirrhosis in China are mostly derived from hepatitis.
Common hepatitis B, hepatitis C and hepatitis D, if not properly recuperated and treated, the hepatitis virus continues to damage the human liver, and for a long time, it is easy to cause liver fibrosis and induce liver cirrhosis.
Therefore, for people with viral hepatitis, once there is a "similar" spider nevus, it must not be ignored, and it is important to check it in time.
4. People with fatty liver
Fatty liver can be said to be the "prelude" to cirrhosis.
If fatty liver is not well controlled, it will lead to long-term fat accumulation in a large number of liver cells, which will affect its blood, oxygen supply and own metabolism, resulting in liver cell swelling, inflammatory infiltration, degeneration and necrosis, and the development of liver cirrhosis
Therefore, people with fatty liver must pay attention to the cirrhosis of the liver once spider nevi are found.
If liver cirrhosis can be detected in time, the disease can be controlled, and drug treatment can be carried out, the course of the disease can be delayed, stagnated or even reversed, and the adverse effects on life and health can be minimized.
At the same time, we can also start with action health and dietary therapy to dredge the liver and gallbladder and eliminate congestion. When the liver and gallbladder meridians are opened, these moles will slowly disappear.
4 ways to nourish the liver
1. Get up early and knock on the gallbladder meridian
Beat the four acupuncture points on the outside of the thigh every day (Huan Jump Acupoint, Fengshi Acupoint, Knee Yangguan Acupoint, Yangling Spring Acupoint), count once every four beats, and knock on the left and right thigh acupoints fifty times a day (that is, two hundred times on one leg), at a rhythm of about two times per second.
We must use some force when knocking, because the thigh muscles and fat are very thick, and we can stimulate the acupuncture points by tapping hard. At the same time, it is normal for the thighs to feel sore when they first knock, indicating that we are opening up the gallbladder meridian.
2. Push the liver meridian before going to bed
Sit on the bed, stretch your right leg forward, bend your left leg flat, fold your hands, press on the root of your thigh, push forward slightly hard along the position of the liver meridian on the inner thigh to the knee joint, push it repeatedly, forty or fifty times, and then change the other leg to the same technique.
You can apply some moisturizer on the skin through clothing, and the effect is better. Push it every night to soothe the liver and regulate qi, invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, remove liver fire, maintain gynecology, and improve facial complexion.
3. Massage Taichong acupoint
Taichong acupoint is the original acupoint of the liver meridian, whether it is liver fire, liver yang, liver qi, liver wind, can be taken from its laxative, flat.
It is located at the point where our big toe and second toe separate, in the direction of the instep, in a dimple of about 1.5 cm. If you press it down and feel a little sore, then you have found the right one.
Each massage lasts for about 5~10 minutes for 3~5 days.
4. Health food therapy
Red adzuki bean beef soup
Material:250 grams of beef, 200 grams of red adzuki beans, 50 grams of peanuts, 100 grams of garlic
Method: Mix and boil with water, take it warm on an empty stomach, take it in two days, and take it for 20~30 days.
Efficacy: nourishment, water dilution, dehumidification, swelling and detoxification, conditioning early liver cirrhosis.
In short, don't underestimate any small changes in your body, it is a health warning from your body!
