Abdominal Pain and Swelling

Women with liver disease may experience abdominal pain or discomfort, especially in the upper right side of the abdomen, where the liver is located.

Jaundice

Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes that occurs when the liver is unable to process bilirubin properly. It is a common symptom of liver disease and can be noticeable in the eyes.

Nausea and Vomiting

Liver disease can lead to nausea, vomiting, and a general feeling of digestive discomfort. Women may experience these symptoms, especially after eating fatty or rich foods.

Changes in Menstrual Cycle

Liver disease can affect hormone metabolism and lead to changes in the menstrual cycle, including irregular periods or cessation of menstruation (amenorrhea).
