The liver plays a significant role in hormone regulation, breaking down and clearing excess hormones from the bloodstream. When liver function is compromised, hormonal imbalances can occur, leading to symptoms such as menstrual irregularities in women and gynecomastia in men. These changes may be subtle but are crucial indicators of liver distress. Addressing the underlying liver condition can help restore hormonal balance, alleviating associated symptoms. This highlights the interconnected nature of bodily systems and the liver's central role in maintaining endocrine health.

Unpleasant breath and body odor can be surprising indicators of liver issues. When the liver is unable to effectively process toxins, they can be excreted through breath and sweat, resulting in a distinct smell often described as "musty" or "sweet." This symptom, while less commonly recognized, provides a valuable clue to liver health. Understanding the connection between liver function and olfactory changes can prompt individuals to seek medical evaluation, ensuring that liver function tests are conducted to identify and address the underlying cause.
