Patient's question:
My mother has been looking rather yellow recently, and her bowel movements are not normal, always constipated. When she eats greasy food, she feels uncomfortable in the liver area. Her hands and feet have also started to swell, and she experiences intermittent lower back and leg pain. Upon examination at the hospital, it was found that she has cirrhosis. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
There are two methods for treating liver cirrhosis: one is the daily care method, and the other is the medication treatment method. Both are essential and cannot be missing. Daily care also requires attention; it is necessary to avoid smoking and drinking, eat more vegetables, and maintain a light diet. Avoid working overtime at night and pay more attention to rest. Take some time each day to engage in light activities, such as walking or practicing Tai Chi. Improvements in the condition can also be very helpful. Then, under the guidance of a doctor, use medication based on your own situation, and you can achieve ideal results. The daily treatment for liver cirrhosis patients mainly involves taking medication. Patients can use many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
