How to treat liver disease? Is there a good treatment for ascites caused by cirrhosis? What problems should be paid attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Ascites is a condition that reappears when liver cirrhosis progresses to the decompensation stage of liver function. It is one of the most significant complications of liver cirrhosis.

If the abdominal pain is severe, it is recommended to perform paracentesis to drain the ascites and administer anesthesia, human albumin, and plasma for relief.First and foremost, it is important to maintain mental well-being. Avoid getting angry or fatigued and strive to keep a positive and cheerful mindset. Secondly, pay attention to dietary management.

For example, eat plenty of whole grains, black rice, millet, soy milk, and ideally, consume a significant amount of protein powder daily.
