Patient's question:
I would like to ask, my family member has liver cirrhosis, and the current hospital has checked for ascites. Will this disease be contagious? Especially children.Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis and ascites themselves will never be infectious, but it depends on the cause of the cirrhosis. To block the production of ascites, human albumin infusion is generally used; if ascites has already been discharged, two methods are adopted: drug drainage and surgical drainage, with drug drainage being the most widely used. If conditions permit, you can take Fuzhong Pills, which have the dual effects of draining fluid, reducing swelling, expelling dampness, strengthening the spleen, dispelling evil, and supporting the body's. The harm caused by liver ascites to patients is very great. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care, such as eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding irritating foods. It is hoped that liver ascites patients can receive professional treatment.
