Patient's question:
Since last month, I have frequently felt discomfort in my liver. When I drink beer at parties outside, my liver often feels like it's burning, and sometimes I even experience nausea and dry heaving again. Recently, my condition has been getting worse. Since getting up in the morning, I've been feeling completely drained. My wife says my face is yellowish, which looks quite unsettling, and she's very worried that I might have liver cirrhosis or some other serious condition.Doctor's answer:
Early-stage cirrhosis is generally characterized by common symptoms such as fatigue, exhaustion, reduced physical strength, decreased appetite, and pain in the liver region. Additionally, only a very small number of patients may experience recurrent symptoms like palmar erythema and spider angiomas. Cirrhosis indicates that the condition has already progressed to a relatively severe stage, while early-stage cirrhosis is essentially still in the stage of hepatic fibrosis. This is also the best time to treat cirrhosis, and it is recommended that patients with early-stage cirrhosis seize this opportunity to receive timely and effective treatment. For severe cirrhosis patients, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's recommendations for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
