Liver kis side hota h - #11929

Vanya

I am really confused about where my liver kis side hota h. I’ve been feeling this weird discomfort lately, like a dull ache on my right side, and I was told it could be my liver. I never thought much about anatomy before, but now I keep questioning myself. Can your liver cut out be only on one side? Last week, I had a couple of drinks, and now I feel like maybe I did something to it. Will that affect where my liver kis side hota h? Are there signs I should look for if it’s really my liver? I tried looking it up but got lost in all the medical jargon. Also, my doc told me to eat more veggies and less red meat. Is that related to liver health? I just want to know if I'm overthinking or if my symptoms mean something more serious. Like, is the ache I feel something different? Ugh! It’s frustrating not knowing if the liver kis side hota h really matters with the pain I’m having. Any advice would be super helpful!

Doctors’ responses

Your liver is located on the right side of your abdomen, just beneath your rib cage. If you’re feeling a dull ache on the right side, your liver could be a potential source of discomfort. When it comes to anatomy, your liver is primarily located on the right, and drinking a few drinks recently doesn’t necessarily mean damage but can sometimes cause the liver to work harder, which might lead to discomfort if consumed excessively or frequently. However, a single occasion would unlikely significantly harm a healthy liver. It’s important to be mindful of how alcohol consumption and dietary habits affect liver health since the liver metabolizes these compounds. Having more veggies and reducing red meat, as your doctor advised, can indeed benefit liver health. Excessive consumption of red meat and processed foods can stress the liver, while a diet rich in vegetables helps maintain proper liver function. Red-flag symptoms to watch for include yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), significant changes in weight, severe abdominal pain, or swelling. These symptoms could indicate a more serious liver condition, requiring urgent attention. If your discomfort persists or worsens, it’s essential to follow up with your healthcare provider. They might recommend further investigation through blood tests or imaging, like an ultrasound, to determine if the liver is indeed the source of the pain. Remember, not every ache and pain has a critical underlying condition but staying informed and cautious is key. If you feel concerned, always best to consult with your healthcare provider to put your mind at ease and ensure your health remains optimal.
