I had liver function tests done last month and they came back fine. Nevertheless, I STILL worry! :(

This may seem like a really trivial issue, but is it possible to bruise/damage your liver by constantly feeling the area to check if it feels bumpy/enlarged?

I have been really OCD with health anxiety lately (checking, feeling etc), and have been feeling my liver a lot over the past few days with my hands. What are the chances, and would it show any symptoms if I had bruised it?

Also, would I be able to feel ridges, bumpiness, hardness of my liver with my hands?

Thanks, all

You can't feel your liver :lac:

Poking that area will bruise the tissue and muscle in that area. But no, you physically can not touch your liver with your finger.
