Patient's question:
Initially, I only had hepatitis, took some medication, and it improved a bit, so I didn't pay much attention. Last year, when I got checked, it had turned into chronic hepatitis B. Then I started taking medication. This year, during my health check-up, it was found to be liver cirrhosis. Oh no, what's going on? Can it still be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is a common chronic progressive liver disease in clinical diagnosis, characterized by diffuse liver damage caused by one or more different causes over a long period or repeatedly. In China, the majority are post-hepatitis cirrhosis, with a small portion being alcoholic cirrhosis and schistosomiasis cirrhosis. Therefore, it is essential to develop a strong will, maintain a cheerful mood, and boost one's spirit to completely eliminate mental burdens, which will benefit the stabilization of the condition. When compensatory function of cirrhosis declines, or when there is ascites or infection, absolute bed rest is necessary. In addition to timely treatment for cirrhosis, friends with the disease should always maintain a positive attitude to face the illness. Only in this way can the patient receive timely and appropriate treatment, while also paying close attention to their dietary care.
