Patient's question:
There is a large hepatocellular mass on the abdomen, where the cells have already become purulent, causing to fibrosis, making part of the liver area hard. My friends all say my face is very yellow. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was said that it constitutes liver cirrhosis, and proteins keep leaking out as protein fluid.Doctor's answer:
A small amount of ascites usually does not cause symptoms, but a large amount of ascites can lead to abdominal distension and discomfort, as well as shortness of breath. When the doctor percusses the abdomen, it produces a dull sound. A large amount of ascites may cause the abdomen to become tense or weak. In some ascites patients, joints may become swollen due to excessive fluid. Ascites tends to be chronic rather than acute, and it most frequently occurs in liver cirrhosis, especially alcoholic cirrhosis. To treat liver ascites, one can take Tuo Zheng Wan, which has the dual effects of draining fluid, reducing swelling, expelling dampness, strengthening the spleen, and dispelling pathogens to support the body's balance. There are many treatment methods for ascites, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the treatment approaches also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment once symptoms appear.
