In clinical terms, liver inflammation is called hepatitis. Early symptoms are quite non-specific, like mild nausea, fatigue, and a dull ache in the upper right quadrant of your abdomen. Watch out for dark yellow urine or pale stools, and if you notice them, ask your doctor for an SGOT/SGPT test.

I am a bit nervous to ask, but my doctor mentioned my liver is slightly inflamed after a routine checkup. I have been feeling very bloated and tired lately. Does liver inflammation always lead to jaundice, or can it be cured before that with just lifestyle changes?

Balakrishnan Iyer · Answer

When the liver is inflamed, the digestive fire or 'Agni' becomes weak, leading to gas, sluggishness, and a heavy feeling. Gentle abdominal twists and deep yogic breathing can help improve blood circulation to the organ. However, please ensure you consult a doctor to find the root cause of the inflammation.

Honestly, I had this last semester because of eating too much oily hostel food and skipping sleep. I just had severe acidity, bloating, and felt super lazy all the time. Got a blood test done and my liver enzymes were high, so had to stick to simple ghar ka khana for a month.

Hey, don't stress too much, liver inflammation is super common and the liver is great at healing itself if you take care! You might just feel a bit tired, nauseous, or have some bloating after eating. Just eat simple, boiled meals for a few days and definitely get a doctor's opinion, okay?
