Liver capsule tension

Introduction

Introduction The surface of the liver and spleen is covered with a film called "film", in which nerves are distributed. When the liver spleen is swollen, it will inevitably squeeze the capsule and pull the nerve to cause pain.

Cause

Cause

Due to inflammation of the liver, the liver can be swollen, causing the liver capsule to be strained or pulled, causing pain or discomfort in the liver area. There is no pain nerve in the liver, but the liver capsule is rich in pain nerves, so when the liver is obviously swollen or inflammation spreads to the liver capsule, it will feel obvious liver pain.

Exercise can sometimes cause pain in the liver and spleen, which is a respiratory rhythm disorder. During strenuous exercise, the breathing becomes uneven, there is no rhythm, the breathing becomes superficial, the frequency is too fast, resulting in respiratory muscle fatigue, and even paralysis, while the diaphragmatic spasm itself can cause pain, and the respiratory muscles are weakened and weakened. The "massage" effect on the liver, while breathing short, high intrathoracic pressure, will also hinder the reflux of the inferior vena cava, but also cause liver or spleen congestion or swelling of the liver and spleen and cause pain.
