Worry (It's because of the liver! Fatigue is also due to the liver!)

Liver cyst! Concerned about the enlarged diagnosis.

It's because of liver issues! Just listen and think it's funny? But it turns out that 90% of illnesses are due to liver problems.

I visited for a recheck of fasting blood sugar.

In 2022, it was diagnosed that the liver cyst, which was about 2 cm, had grown to 6.5 cm × 4.5 cm.

They said there was no change in size even during the comprehensive check-up in 2023.

What happened in a year...?

Abdominal ultrasound, CT, and blood tests were also performed, but it was determined that surgery or treatment is not necessary.

They just say to monitor whether it grows larger.

He tells me not to worry too much and to forget about it.

The CT shows an irregular cystic shape, so it was re-imaged, but the findings are the same.

Liver function, kidney function, thyroid, and liver cancer all came back normal, which is really fortunate.

I'm wondering if I should just ignore it and go on.

🔴 Infantile hemangioma

Benign liver cysts, commonly called cysts, do not require treatment. They are more common in women in their 40s to 60s. Usually, they are small, less than 1cm in size, but rarely, cysts larger than 10cm can be found. Large liver cysts can cause discomfort in the abdomen, and if bleeding or infection occurs within the cyst, it can lead to pain or fever.

Multiple hepatic cysts: a condition where multiple cysts of various sizes develop in the liver due to congenital reasons.

Cysts can also develop simultaneously in the kidneys and pancreas.

Most cases of congenital jaundice are asymptomatic, and the likelihood of symptoms appearing in the future is low.

So I guess he's telling me not to worry and to forget about it.

Treatment is considered if symptoms appear due to an increase in size or number.

 

Causes of liver damage

Liver damage caused by a specific medication is called drug-induced liver injury.

The main drugs that cause liver damage are acetaminophen, which is widely used as an antipyretic and analgesic, and

Amiodarone, Valproic acid, and Stein are also considered major causative drugs.
