10 Liver Disease Symptoms

Symptom #10: Spider Angiomas
Estrogen is a hormone that plays a role in the sexuality of women. It is largely responsible for the formation of breasts and also plays a role in the menstrual cycle. However, it is not present only in women as men also have it, only in smaller quantities.
When liver disease occurs, the levels of estrogen in the blood can rise. This is because the liver is no longer metabolizing the body’s hormones as it usually would do. This results in spider angiomas, which are small burst capillaries that lie just beneath the skin and appear spider-like from the surface.
