Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother is 55 years old this year; she had a hyperthyroidism surgery in 1990. In 1991, she was diagnosed with early liver cirrhosis, and has been suffering from it for 20 years. Her liver is enlarged; her spleen is enlarged; she has early liver cirrhosis. Her blood is not sufficient throughout her body, and her immunity is low.Doctor's answer:
Your mother has progressed from chronic hepatitis C to cirrhosis, and her spleen has already been removed. Currently, it is no longer about treating hepatitis C, as once it develops into cirrhosis, it generally cannot heal on its own. As for interferon and ribavirin, it is best not to use them anymore. In your mother's condition, these medications usually have no effect. The main issue now is to focus on meticulous care, as there is no specific medication for cirrhosis. First and foremost, mental well-being is crucial—avoid getting angry or fatigued, maintain a good mental state, and ensure you remain joyful.
