Liver Tumor: The liver, one of the most important organs in the body, plays a crucial role in aiding digestion and maintaining energy levels. Many people discover a tumor in the liver very late.

Dr. Pawan Hanchanale, hepatologist and liver transplant physician at Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, says that many patients do not realize that they are in danger until the symptoms become severe. The liver works to filter toxins and aid in digestion.

Studies suggest that the initial symptoms of liver tumors are often subtle or mistaken for normal digestive problems. Symptoms like abdominal discomfort, fatigue, and weight loss may seem insignificant. But the doctor says that they can also be a sign of liver damage. Dr. Pawan shares 10 early symptoms of liver tumors that should not be ignored.

1. Persistent pain in the upper right side of the abdomen indicates a liver problem.

2. Weight loss: Another symptom is weight loss without trying. If you have lost more than 5-10 percent of your body weight in six months without any reason, see your doctor immediately.

3. Watch for changes in appetite: Feeling full very quickly or not wanting to eat can be a sign of inflammation or a tumor growing in the stomach.

4. Chronic fatigue: Another symptom is feeling tired all the time. It is a sign of liver dysfunction.

5. Don’t ignore nausea and vomiting: Persistent nausea or sudden vomiting can be a sign that the liver is not working properly.

6. Yellowing of the skin or eyes: Yellowing of the skin and eyes is a sign that the liver is not processing bilirubin efficiently.

7. Bloated abdomen: Another symptom is a constantly swollen abdomen. A constantly swollen abdomen can be a sign of fluid buildup (ascites). It can often be due to poor liver function or a tumor-related blockage of blood flow.

8. Fever: A persistent fever is also a sign of liver failure.

9. Itchy skin: Another symptom is itchy skin. Especially itching in the hands and feet. This can be a sign of bile salts accumulating in the blood due to liver dysfunction.

10. See a lump in the abdomen: Sometimes a tumor in the liver grows so large that it feels like a lump under the ribs. This is also another sign of a liver tumor.
