Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby with cirrhosis has a very large belly, swelling below, and noticeably swollen thighs.Doctor's answer:
Hepatocirrhosis is a diffuse liver damage caused by the long-term or repeated action of one or more causes. In China, most cases are post-hepatitis cirrhosis, while a small portion are alcoholic cirrhosis and schistosomiasis cirrhosis. Currently, there is no specific medication for hepatocirrhosis. Chinese medicine can be used to treat it by soothing the liver, strengthening the spleen, resolving phlegm and dissipating knots, promoting blood circulation and draining water. If conditions permit, liver transplantation can be considered.
